Lyrics

[00:16.80] They're selling postcards of the hanging
[00:19.47] And they're painting the passports brown
[00:22.23] Yeah the beauty parlor is filled with sailors
[00:25.64] The circus is in town
[00:28.06] And now well here comes the blind commissioner
[00:30.94] They've got him in a trance
[00:33.71] One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker
[00:37.24] The other is in his pants
[00:39.45] And the riot squads are restless
[00:42.58] They need somewhere to go
[00:45.20] As Lady and I look out tonight
[00:48.17] From Desolation Row
[00:50.79]
[00:52.47] Cinderella she seems so easy
[00:55.32] "Well it takes one to know one" she smiles
[00:58.19] And she puts her hands in her back pockets
[01:01.55] Bette Taylor style
[01:03.79] And now here comes Romeo moaning
[01:06.71] "You Belong to Me I Believe"
[01:09.55] And someone says " You're in the wrong place my friend
[01:13.22] You better leave"
[01:15.34] And the only sound that's left
[01:17.87] After the ambulances go
[01:20.81] Is Cinderella sweeping up
[01:24.00] On Desolation Row
[01:27.09]
[01:51.00]
[01:54.03] Now at midnight all the agents
[01:56.89] And the superhuman crew
[01:59.60] Go out and round up everyone
[02:02.77] That knows more than they do
[02:05.33] So come on bring them to the factory
[02:08.21] Where the heart-attack machine
[02:10.80] Is strapped across their shoulders
[02:13.99] And then the kerosene
[02:16.99] Is brought down from the castles
[02:19.50] By insurance men who go
[02:22.21] Check to see that nobody is escaping
[02:25.58] To Desolation Row
[02:28.08] Cause I can't read too good
[02:31.21] Don't send me no letters no
[02:33.72] Not unless you gotta mail them
[02:36.34] From Desolation Row
[02:39.54]
[02:42.84]
[03:01.00]
