Someone's got it in for me,they're planting stories in the pressWhoever it isI wish they'd cut it outbut when they will I can only guess.They say I shot a man named Grayand took his wife to Italy,She inherited a million bucksand when she died it came to me.I can't help it if I'm lucky.People see me all the timeand they just can't remember how to actTheir minds are filled with big ideas,images and distorted facts.Even you, yesterdayyou had to ask me where it was at,I couldn't believeafter all these years,you didn't know me better than thatSweet lady.Idiot wind,blowing every time you move your mouth,Blowing down the backroads headin' south.Idiot wind,blowing every time you move your teeth,You're an idiot, babe.It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe.I ran into the fortune-teller,who said beware of lightning that might strikeI haven't known peace and quiet for so longI can't remember what it's like.There's a lone soldier on the crosssmoke pourin' out of a boxcar doorYou didn't know it,you didn't think it could be done,in the final end he won the warsAfter losin' every battle.I woke up on the roadside,daydreamin' 'bout the way things sometimes areVisions of your chestnut mareshoot through my headand are makin' me see starsYou hurt the ones that I love bestand cover up the truth with lies.One day you'll be in the ditch,flies buzzin' around your eyes,Blood on your saddle.Idiot wind,blowing through the flowers on your tomb,Blowing through the curtains in your room.Idiot wind,blowing every time you move your teeth,You're an idiot, babe.It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe.It was gravity which pulled us downand destiny which broke us apartYou tamed the lion in my cagebut it just wasn't enough to change my heart.Now everything's a little upside down,as a matter of fact the wheels have stopped,What's good is bad, what's bad is good,you'll find out when you reach the topYou're on the bottom.I noticed at the ceremony,your corrupt ways had finally made you blindI can't remember your face anymore,your mouth has changedyour eyes don't look into mine.The priest wore black on the seventh dayand sat stone-faced whilethe building burned.I waited for you on the running boards,near the cypress trees,while the springtime turned Slowly into autumn.Idiot wind,blowing like a circle around my skull,From the Grand Coulee Dam to the Capitol.Idiot wind,blowing every time you move your teeth,You're an idiot, babe.It's a wonder that you still know how to breathe.I can't feel you anymore,I can't even touch the books you've readEvery time I crawl past your door,I been wishin' I was somebody else instead.Down the highway, down the tracks,down the road to ecstasy,I followed you beneath the stars,hounded by your memoryAnd all your ragin' glory.I been double-crossed now for the very last timeand now I'm finally free,I kissed goodbyethe howling beast on the borderlinewhich separated you from me.You'll never know the hurtI suffered nor the pain I rise above,And I'll never know the same about you,your holiness or your kind of love,And it makes me feel so sorry.Idiot wind,blowing through the buttons of our coats,Blowing through the letters that we wrote.Idiot wind,blowing through the dust upon our shelves,We're idiots, babe.It's a wonder we can even feed ourselves.
