It amazes me that anyone could understand any of the lyrics of most of the
rock music of the past 30 years -- I long ago stopped trying.

I never could hear anything but "douche in the night"--I've been told what
the "real" words were, but I can't remember what they were.

By the way, the Dylan "mondegreen" seems pretty unlikely to me: *"The ants
are, my friend, is blowin' in the wind, the ants are is blowin' in the wind"
just doesn't parse!
