《Desolation Row(Live at Royal Albert Hall， London， UK - May 26， 1966)》歌词

[00:00:00] Desolation Row (Live from London 5／26／66) - Bob Dylan Desolation lan

[00:00:33] They're selling postcards of the hanging

[00:00:37] They're painting the passports brown

[00:00:41] The beauty parlor is filled with sailors

[00:00:46] The circus is in town

[00:00:50] Here comes the blind commissioner

[00:00:53] They've got him in a trance

[00:00:57] One hand is tied to the tight rope walker

[00:01:02] The other is in his pants

[00:01:05] And the riot squad they're restless

[00:01:10] They need somewhere to go

[00:01:14] As lady and I look out tonight

[00:01:18] From desolation row

[00:01:28] Cinderella she seems so easy

[00:01:32] It takes one to know one she smiles

[00:01:36] And puts her hands in her back pockets

[00:01:41] Bette davis style

[00:01:44] And in comes romeo he's moaning

[00:01:48] You belong to me I believe

[00:01:53] And someone says you're in the wrong place my friend

[00:01:57] You'd better leave

[00:02:00] And the only sound that's left

[00:02:05] After the ambulances go

[00:02:08] Is cinderella sweeping up

[00:02:12] On desolation row

[00:02:23] Now the moon is almost hidden

[00:02:31] The stars are beginning to hide

[00:02:35] The fortune telling lady

[00:02:39] Has even taken all her things inside

[00:02:43] All except for cain and abel

[00:02:47] And the hunchback of notre dame

[00:02:51] Everybody is making love

[00:02:55] Or else expecting rain

[00:02:59] And the good samaritan he's dressing

[00:03:03] He's getting ready for the show

[00:03:07] He's going to the carnival tonight

[00:03:11] On desolation row

[00:03:18] Ophelia she's 'neath the window

[00:03:22] For her I feel so afraid

[00:03:25] On her twenty second birthday

[00:03:29] She already is an old maid

[00:03:33] To her death is quite romantic

[00:03:38] She wears an iron vest

[00:03:41] Her profession's her religion

[00:03:45] Her sin is her lifelessness

[00:03:50] And though her eyes are fixed upon

[00:03:54] Noah's great rainbow

[00:03:58] She spends her time peeking

[00:04:01] Into desolation row

[00:04:12] Einstein disguised as robin hood

[00:04:16] With his memories in a trunk

[00:04:21] Passed this way an hour ago

[00:04:24] With his friend a jealous monk

[00:04:28] Now he looked so immaculately frightful

[00:04:32] As he bummed a cigarette

[00:04:36] Then he went off sniffing drainpipes

[00:04:40] And reciting the alphabet

[00:04:44] You would not think to look at him

[00:04:48] But he was famous long ago

[00:04:52] For playing the electric violin

[00:04:56] On desolation row

[00:05:06] Dr filth he keeps his world

[00:05:11] Inside of a leather cup

[00:05:15] But all his sexless patients

[00:05:18] They are trying to blow it up

[00:05:22] Now his nurse some local loser

[00:05:26] She's in charge of the cyanide hole

[00:05:30] And she also keeps the cards that read

[00:05:34] Have mercy on his soul

[00:05:39] They all play on the penny whistle

[00:05:42] You can hear them blow

[00:05:46] If you lean your head out far enough

[00:05:50] From desolation row

[00:06:01] Across the street they've nailed the curtains

[00:06:04] They're getting ready for the feast

[00:06:08] The phantom of the opera

[00:06:12] In a perfect image of a priest

[00:06:16] They are spoon feeding casanova

[00:06:20] To get him to feel more assured

[00:06:24] Then they'll kill him with self confidence

[00:06:28] After poisoning him with words

[00:06:32] And the phantom's shouting to skinny girls

[00:06:36] Get outta here if you don't know

[00:06:40] Casanova is just being punished for going

[00:06:44] To desolation row

[00:06:54] At midnight all the agents

[00:06:58] And the superhuman crew

[00:07:07] Come out and round up everyone

[00:07:10] That knows more than they do

[00:07:15] Then they bring them to the factory

[00:07:18] Where the heart attack machine

[00:07:23] Is strapped across their shoulders

[00:07:27] And then the kerosene

[00:07:31] Is brought down from the castles

[00:07:34] By insurance men who go

[00:07:38] Check to see that nobody is escaping

[00:07:42] To desolation row

[00:07:51] Praise be to nero's neptune

[00:07:54] The titanic sails at dawn

[00:07:59] Everybody's shouting

[00:08:03] Which side are you on

[00:08:06] And ezra pound and t s eliot

[00:08:11] Fighting in the captain's tower

[00:08:15] While calypso singers laugh at them

[00:08:18] And fishermen hold flowers

[00:08:23] Between the windows of the sea

[00:08:26] Where lovely mermaids flow

[00:08:31] And nobody has to think too much

[00:08:35] About desolation row

[00:09:29] Yes I received your letter yesterday

[00:09:38] About the time the door knob broke

[00:09:41] When you asked me how I was doing

[00:09:45] Or was that some kind of joke

[00:09:49] All these people that you mention

[00:09:53] Yes I know them they're quite lame

[00:09:57] I had to rearrange their faces

[00:10:01] And give them all another name

[00:10:05] Right now I can't read too good

[00:10:09] Don't send me no more letters no

[00:10:13] Not unless you mail them

[00:10:16] From desolation row
