Man in the Long Black Coat Lyrics

Cover art for Man in the Long Black Coat lyrics by Bob Dylan

The lyrics are pretty sub-Dylan-par until you get to the breathtaking second half of the bridge: People don't live or die/People just float. That's incredible, seeing human life through almost an alien's perspective.

But now that I re-read the lyrics, they're actually all pretty damn good. He sings it too choppily on Oh Mercy, maybe. The song's worth it just for that amazing bridge, though.
