Bob Dylan Tangled Up in Jews

His son is talented too. Jakob Dylan's I've Been Delivered:

Wallflowers - I've Been Delivered

I could break free from the wood of a coffin if I need
But nothin's hard as Gettin' free from places I've already been

I've been waste-deep in the burnin' meadows of my mind
In the engine In cold December shootin' fire from the hose

Now turn off your lights
'cause I'm not comin' home
'til I'm delivered for the first time

I was first-born to a parade that follows in rows
down a narrow cold black river faceless shadows movin' slow

I would move swift when the sounds of a trumpet would blow
I've been the puppet, I've been the strings, I know the vacant face it brings

Now the bells of curfew They may ring before I'm through
But soon I'll be delivered for the first time

You might keep clean in the back of an angel motorcade
It doesn't matter who walks in you know, the joke is still the same
You'll just wake up like a disposable lover decomposed
I've been gone, I've been remembered, I've been alive, I've been a ghost

So now, if downtown explodes
I'll still be on this road
'til I'm delivered for the first time

I have drawn blood from the neckline when vampires were in fashion
You know I'd even learn to cut my throat If I thought I could fit in

'Cause I, I once heard that you gotta learn how to blend in to this mess
Where nothin's hard nothin's precious and nothin's smooth or flawless

Now, no more amused
just screaming to be delivered
for the first time

Now I'm 10 miles in the deep and mighty blue sea
Looking back, towards a long white beach burnin' up into yellow flames

And I just wave back like a little boy up on a pony in a show
'cause I can't fix something this complex any more than I can build a rose

So just keep on letting go
'cause I must be close
to being delivered for the first time

Now I'd rather bleed out a long stream from being lonely and feel blessed
Well than drown, laying face down in a puddle of respect
I was once lost in the corridors of the arena in blindfolds
I've been the bull, I've been the whip, I just pulled down the matador

So now, turn on your lights
'cause I'm comin' home
I've been delivered for the first time
