crawl out your window


He sits in your room, his tomb, with a fist full of tacks
Preoccupied with his vengeance
Cursing the dead that can't answer him back
I'm sure that he has no intentions
Of looking your way, unless it's to say
That he needs you to test his inventions.

Can you please crawl out your window?
Use your arms and legs it won't ruin you
How can you say he will haunt you?
You can go back to him any time you want to.

(Bob Dylan, 'Can you please crawl out your window?', 1965)

I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still
(Bob Dylan, 'Not Dark Yet', 1997)
