[00:00.00]Bob Dylan - Key West (Philosopher Pirate)
[00:02.91]Written by：Bob Dylan
[00:05.35]Composed by：Bob Dylan
[00:14.58]McKinley hollered, McKinley squalled
[00:19.67]Doctor said, "McKinley, death is on the wall
[00:26.16]Say it to me, if you got something to confess"
[00:33.87]I heard all about it, he was going down slow
[00:40.51]I heard it all, the wireless radio
[00:47.71]From down in the boondocks way down in Key West
[00:54.70]I’m searching for love, for inspiration
[01:04.34]On that pirate radio station
[01:08.38]Coming out of Luxembourg and Budapest
[01:16.30]Radio signal, clear as can be
[01:21.97]I'm so deep in love that I can hardly see
[01:29.71]Down on the flatlands, way down in Key West
[01:37.26]Key West is the place to be
[01:40.18]If you're looking for immortality
[01:43.86]Stay on the road, follow the highway sign
[01:51.23]Key West is fine and fair
[01:54.22]If you lost your mind, you will find it there
[01:57.48]Key West is on the horizon line
[02:04.49]I was born on the wrong side of the railroad track
[02:12.07]Like Ginsberg, Corso and Kerouac
[02:17.49]Like Louis and Jimmy and Buddy and all the rest
[02:25.10]Well, it might not be the thing to do
[02:32.15]But I'm sticking with you through and through
[02:38.20]Down in the flatlands, way down in Key West
[02:45.87]I got both my feet planted square on the ground
[02:51.98]Got my right hand high with the thumb down
[02:58.68]Such is life, such is happiness
[03:06.56]Hibiscus flowers, they grow everywhere here
[03:12.69]If you wear one, put it behind your ear
[03:19.22]Down in the bottom, way down in Key West
[03:27.97]Key West is the place to go
[03:31.26]Down by the Gulf of Mexico
[03:34.34]Beyond the sea, beyond the shifting sand
[03:41.55]Key West is the gateway key
[03:44.72]To innocence and purity
[03:48.05]Key West, Key West is the enchanted land
[03:55.76]I've never lived in the land of Oz
[04:02.00]Or wasted my time with an unworthy cause
[04:08.32]It’s hot down here, and you can't be overdressed
[04:16.27]China blossoms of a toxic plant
[04:22.81]They can make you dizzy, I'd like to help you but I can't
[04:29.13]Down in the flatlands, way down in Key West
[04:36.58]Well, the fish tail ponds, and the orchid trees
[04:43.50]They can give you that bleeding heart disease
[04:49.98]People tell me I ought to try a little tenderness
[04:57.49]On Newton Street, Bayview Park
[05:04.50]Walking in the shadows after dark
[05:10.99]Down under, way down in Key West
[05:18.72]I played Gumbo Limbo spirituals
[05:25.90]I know all the Hindu rituals
[05:31.43]People tell me that I'm truly blessed
[05:39.18]Bougainvillea blooming in the summer, in the spring
[05:45.94]Winter here is an unknown thing
[05:52.08]Down in the flat lands, way down in Key West
[05:59.84]Key West is under the sun, under the radar, under the gun
[06:06.47]You stay to the left, and then you lean to the right
[06:14.34]Feel the sunlight on your skin, and the healing virtues of the wind
[06:20.96]Key West, Key West is the land of light
[06:28.27]Wherever I travel, wherever I roam
[06:34.37]I'm not that far before I come back home
[06:40.78]I do what I think is right, what I think is best
[06:48.61]History Street off of Mallory Square
[06:56.91]Truman had his White House there
[07:02.07]East bound, West bound, way down in Key West
[07:09.72]Twelve years old, they put me in a suit
[07:17.32]Forced me to marry a prostitute
[07:22.53]There were gold fringes on her wedding dress
[07:29.87]That's my story, but not where it ends
[07:36.65]She's still cute, and we're still friends
[07:43.82]Down on the bottom, way down in Key West
[07:50.98]I play both sides against the middle
[07:57.45]Trying to pick up that pirate radio signal
[08:03.16]I heard the news, I heard your last request
[08:11.64]Fly around, my pretty little Miss
[08:17.58]I don't love nobody, give me a kiss
[08:24.38]Down on the bottom, way down in Key West
[08:32.49]Key West is the place to be
[08:35.40]If you're looking for immortality
[08:39.24]Key West is paradise divine
[08:46.05]Key West is fine and fair
[08:49.02]If you lost your mind, you'll find it there
[08:52.73]Key West is on the horizon line
