Queen Jane Approximately

Adapted from Bob Dylan

Born of repudiation and long of hatred, the Father directly ignored the mother's anger.

On the ninth day, the great roses bloomed, and the incense scattered in an instant.

The corpses are full of faith in the Lord, and they cannot bear to be loyal to the battlefield.

Insults are not only out of old enemies, harsh accusations of auxiliary government.

Grace did not ask for retribution, and returned the favor with heavenly wrath.

He Dang encountered people and abandoned Chen by immersing himself in shushan.

Does the Queen have a spirit to visit? A wisp of wind caresses the soul.

Queen Jane Approximately

by Bob Dylan

When your mother sends back all your invitations

And your father to your sister he explains

That you’re tired of yourself and all of your creations

Won’t you come see me, Queen Jane?

Now when all of the flower ladies want back what they have lent you

And the smell of their roses does not remain

And all of your children start to resent you

Now when all the clowns that you have commissioned

Have died in battle or in vain

And you’re sick of all this repetition

When all of your advisers heave their plastic

At your feet to convince you of your pain

Trying to prove that your conclusions should be more drastic

Now when all the bandits that you turned your other cheek to

All lay down their bandanas and complain

And you want somebody you don’t have to speak to
