Worshipping the body of a woman well endowed
And a face of a hyena
That's another one that's always weirded me out. Another almost great song thrown off by bizarre lyrics. But in both cases, had the song been chosen for inclusion on the album those lyrics might have been changed, as was the case with, for example, Jokerman and Sweetheart Like You.
Human (animalistic) nature. Dylan's best when in the thick of it, 65/66, 74/75 and 81-83.
