《Desolation Row (Live， March 24， 1990)》歌词

[00:09:55] Desolation Row [Live, March 24, 1990

[00:09:55] They're selling postcards of the hanging

[00:09:55] They're painting the passports brown

[00:09:55] The beauty parlor is filled with sailors

[00:09:55] The circus is in town here comes the blind commissioner

[00:09:55] They've got him in a trance one hand is tied to the tight-rope walker

[00:09:55] The other is in his pants and the riot squad they're restless

[00:09:55] They need somewhere to go as Lady and I look out tonight

[00:09:55] From Desolation Row.

[00:09:55] Cinderella, she seems so easy

[00:09:55] "It takes one to know one," she smiles

[00:09:55] And puts her hands in her back pockets

[00:09:55] Bette Davis style and in comes Romeo, he's moaning

[00:09:55] "You Belong to Me I Believe"

[00:09:55] And someone says, "You're in the wrong place, my friend

[00:09:55] You Better leave" and the only sound that's left

[00:09:55] After the ambulances go is Cinderella sweeping up

[00:09:55] On Desolation Row

[00:09:55] Now the moon is almost hidden the stars are beginning to hide

[00:09:55] The fortune telling lady has even taken all her things inside

[00:09:55] All except for Cain and Abel and the hunchback of Notre Dame

[00:09:55] Everybody is making love or else expecting rain

[00:09:55] And the Good Samaritan, he's dressing he's getting ready for the show

[00:09:55] He's going to the carnival tonight

[00:09:55] On Desolation Row

[00:09:55] Now Ophelia, she's neath the window for her I feel so afraid

[00:09:55] On her twenty-second birthday she already is an old maid

[00:09:55] To her, death is quite romantic she wears an iron vest

[00:09:55] Her profession's her religion her sin is her lifelessness

[00:09:55] And though her eyes are fixed upon Noah's great rainbow

[00:09:55] She spend her time peeking

[00:09:55] Into Desolation Row

[00:09:55] Einstein disguised as Robin Hood with his memories in a trunk

[00:09:55] Passed this way an hour ago with his friend, a jealous monk

[00:09:55] He looked so immaculately frightful as he bummed a cigarette

[00:09:55] As he went off sniffing drainpipes and reciting the alphabet

[00:09:55] Now you would not think to look at him but he was famous long ago

[00:09:55] For playing the electric violin

[00:09:55] On Desolation Row

[00:09:55] Dr. Filth, he keeps his world inside of a leather cup

[00:09:55] But all his sexless patients they're trying to blow it up

[00:09:55] Now his nurse, some local loser she's in charge of the cyanide hole

[00:09:55] And she also keeps the cards that read "Have Mercy on His Soul"

[00:09:55] They all play on the penny whistles you can hear then blow

[00:09:55] If you lean your head out far enough

[00:09:55] From Desolation Row
