There's a solo version of this out on bootlegs, which is just Bob alone at the piano stomping his foot for rhythm and singing with almost scary intensity.
The version above leaves out the last verse:
Oh, why must I fall into this sadness?
Do I look like Charles Atlas?
Do you think I still got what you still got, baby?
Her voice is really warm
It's just that it ain't got no form
But it's just like a dead man's last pistol shot, baby
Oh, your mouth used to be naked,
your eyes used to be so blue
Your hurts used to be so nameless
and your tears used to be so few
Now your eyes cry wolf while your mouth cries:
"I'm not scared of animals like you."
And you there's really nothing about you I can recall
I just saw you that one time and you were just there, that's all
But I've already been kissed,
I'm not gonna get into this
I couldn't make it anyhow
You do it for me
You're her lover now
Is there another version of this song out there other than the one released on the Bootleg Series? That version ends abruptly after the "now your eyes cry wolf while your mouth .." part and according to allmusic, that is it - there was no ending. Yet I have seen these completed lyrics elsewhere on the web!
