Desolation Row
They're selling postcards of the hangin' They're paintin' the passports brown The beauty parlor is filled with sailors The circus is in town
People watch the blind commissioner They've got him in a trance One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker The other is in his pants
And the riot squad they're restless They need somewhere to go As lady and I look out tonight From desolation row
Well Cinderella, she seems so easy 'It takes one to know one,' while she smiles Puts her hands in her back pockets Bette Davis style
And you the watch Romeo, he's moanin' You belong to me I believe And someone says 'You're in the wrong place, my friend you better leave'
And the only sound that you can here After the ambulance's gone Cinderella sweeping up On desolation row
Now Ophelia, she's neath the window For her I feel so afraid On her twenty-second birthday She already is an old maid
To her, death is quite romantic She wears an iron vest Her profession's her religion Her sin is her lifelessness
And though her eyes Are fixed upon Noah's great rainbow She spends her time Peeking it on desolation row
Einstein disguised as Robin Hood With his memories in a trunk Passed this way an hour ago With his friend, a jealous monk
He looked so immaculately frightful As he bummed a cigarette And he went off sniffing drainpipes And reciting the alphabet
Oh, you would think to look at him But he was famous long ago For playing the electric violin On desolation row
Dr. Filth, he keeps his world Inside of a leather cup But all his sexless patients They're all trying to blow it up
Now his nurse, some local loser She's in charge of the cyanide hole And she also keeps the cards that read 更多更詳盡歌詞 在 ※ Mojim.com 魔鏡歌詞網 'Have mercy on his soul'
They all play on the penny whistles, whistles You can hear then blow If you lean your head out far enough From desolation row
Across the street they've nailed the curtains They're getting ready for the feast The Phantom of the Opera A perfect image of a priest
They're spoon feeding Casanova To get him to feel more assured Then they'll kill him with self-confidence After poisoning him with words
And the Phantom's shouting to skinny girls 'Get outa here If you don't know' Casanova is just being punished for going To desolation row
Now at midnight all the agents And the superhuman crew Come out and round up everyone That knows more than they do
Then they take them to the factory Where the heart-attack machine Is strapped across their shoulders And then the kerosene
Is brought down from the castles By insurance men who go To make sure that nobody is escaping To desolation row
Oh, praise be to Nero's Neptune The Titanic sails at dawn And everybody's shouting 'Which side are you on?'
And Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot They're fighting in the captain's tower While calypso singers laugh at them And fishermen hold flowers
Between the windows of the sea Where lovely mermaids flow And no one has to think too much About desolation row
Yes, I received your letter yesterday About the time the door knob broke When you asked how I was doin' Was that some kind of joke?
All these people that you mention Yes, I know them, they're quite lame I had to rearrange their faces And give them all another name
Right now I can't read so good Don't send me no more letters no Not unless you mail them From desolation row
