[00:00:00] Desolation Row (Take 5 Remake, Complete) - Bob Dylan

[00:00:02] Written by：Bob Dylan

[00:00:10] They're selling postcards of the hanging

[00:00:15] They're painting the passports brown

[00:00:21] The beauty parlor is filled with sailors

[00:00:26] The circus is in town

[00:00:30] Here comes the blind commissioner

[00:00:35] They've got him in a trance

[00:00:40] One hand is tied to the tight rope walker

[00:00:45] The other is in his pants

[00:00:49] And the riot squad they're restless

[00:00:55] They need somewhere to go

[00:00:59] As lady and I look out tonight

[00:01:04] From desolation row

[00:01:16] Cinderella she seems so easy

[00:01:21] It takes one to know one she smiles

[00:01:26] And puts her hands in her back pockets

[00:01:32] Bette davis style

[00:01:36] And he's comes Romeo morning

[00:01:40] You belong to me I believe

[00:01:45] And someone tention sense to him my friend

[00:01:52] You better leave

[00:01:55] And the only sound that's left

[00:02:01] After the ambulances go

[00:02:05] Is Cinderella sweeping up

[00:02:09] On desolation row

[00:02:19] Now the moon is almost hidden

[00:02:24] The stars they begin to hide

[00:02:29] Even the fortunetelling lady

[00:02:35] Has taken all her things inside

[00:02:39] All except for Cain and Abel

[00:02:43] And the hunchback of notre dame

[00:02:49] Everybody this's making love

[00:02:53] Or else expecting rain

[00:02:58] And the good samaritan he's dressing

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

[00:03:08] He's going to the carnival

[00:03:12] On desolation row

[00:03:22] Ophelia she's 'neath the window

[00:03:27] For her I feel afraid

[00:03:32] On her twenty second birthday

[00:03:37] She already is an old maid

[00:03:42] To her death is quite romantic

[00:03:47] She wears an iron vest

[00:03:51] Her profession's her religion

[00:03:57] Her sin is her lifelessness

[00:04:01] And though her eyes are fixed upon

[00:04:06] Noah's rainbow

[00:04:11] She spends her time peeking

[00:04:14] Into desolation row

[00:04:25] Einstein disguised as Robin Hood

[00:04:30] With his memories in a trunk

[00:04:35] Passed this way an hour ago

[00:04:39] With his friend a jealous monk

[00:04:44] He looked so immaculately frightful

[00:04:48] As he bummed a cigarette

[00:04:53] And he went off sniffing drainpipes

[00:04:58] And reciting the alphabet

[00:05:03] You would not think to look at him

[00:05:07] But he was famous long ago

[00:05:13] For playing the electric violin

[00:05:17] About desolation row

[00:05:29] Dr. Filth he keeps his world

[00:05:34] Inside of a leather cup

[00:05:38] But all his sexless patients

[00:05:43] They're trying to blow it up

[00:05:48] Now his nurse some local loser

[00:05:53] She's in charge of the cyanide hose

[00:05:57] She also keeps the cards that read

[00:06:02] Have mercy on his soul

[00:06:07] They all play the penny whistles

[00:06:12] You can hear them blow

[00:06:16] If you lean your head out far enough

[00:06:21] From desolation row

[00:06:30] Across the street they've nailed the curtains

[00:06:35] They're getting ready for the feast

[00:06:40] A phantom of the opera

[00:06:44] In the perfect image of a priest

[00:06:49] They's spoonfeeding casanova

[00:06:55] The guts of birds

[00:06:58] Then they'll kill him with self confidence

[00:07:03] And poisoning him with words

[00:07:08] And the phantom's shouting to skinny girls

[00:07:13] Get outa here if you don't know

[00:07:18] Casanova is just being punished for going

[00:07:22] To desolation row

[00:07:34] Now at midnight all the agents

[00:07:39] And the superhuman crew

[00:07:44] Come out and round up everybody

[00:07:48] That knows more than they do

[00:07:53] Then they bring them to the factory

[00:07:58] And the heart attack machine

[00:08:02] Is strapped across their shoulders

[00:08:07] And then the kerosene

[00:08:12] Is brought down from the castles

[00:08:16] By insurance men who go

[00:08:21] Check to see that nobody is escaping

[00:08:26] To desolation row

[00:08:36] Praise be to Nero's Neptune

[00:08:40] The titanic sails at dawn

[00:08:45] And everybody's shouting

[00:08:50] Which side are you on

[00:08:55] And ezra pound and T S Eliot

[00:09:00] Fighting in the captain's tower

[00:09:04] While calypso singers laugh at them

[00:09:09] And fishermen hold flowers

[00:09:14] Between the windows of the sea

[00:09:18] Where lovely mermaids flow

[00:09:23] And nobody ever has to think too much

[00:09:27] About desolation row

[00:09:37] I received your letter yesterday

[00:09:42] About the time the door knob broke

[00:09:47] When you asked me how I was doing

[00:09:52] Is that some kind of joke

[00:09:59] Is all these people that you mention

[00:10:04] I know them they're quite lame

[00:10:08] I had to rearrange their faces

[00:10:13] And give them all another name

[00:10:18] Right now I'm just walking by myself

[00:10:22] Don't read me no more letters no

[00:10:28] Unless of couse you mail them

[00:10:31] From desolation row
