Desolation Row

  They're selling postcards of the hanging

  They're painting the passports brown

  The beauty parlor is filled with sailors

  The circus is in town

  Here comes 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

  Cinderella, she seems so easy

  "It takes one to know one," she smiles

  And puts her hands in her back pockets

  Bette Davis style

  And in comes Romeo, he's moaning

  "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's left

  After the ambulances go

  Is Cinderella sweeping up

  On Desolation Row

  Now the moon is almost hidden

  The stars are beginning to hide

  The fortunetelling lady

  Has even taken all her things inside

  All except for Cain and Abel

  And the hunchback of Notre Dame

  Everybody is making love

  Or else expecting rain

  And the Good Samaritan, he's dressing

  He's getting ready for the show

  He's going to the carnival tonight

  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

  Into Desolation Row

  Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood

  With his memories

  Passed this way an hour ago

  With his friend, a jealous monk

  He looked so immaculately frightful

  As he bummed a cigarette

  Then he went off sniffing drainpipes

  And reciting the alphabet

  Now you would not 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 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

  "Have Mercy on His Soul"

  They all play on penny whistles

  You can hear them 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

  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 bring 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

  Check to see that nobody is escaping

  To Desolation Row

  Praise be to Nero's Neptune

  The Titanic sails at dawn

  And everybody's shouting

  "Which Side Are You On?"

  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 nobody 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 doing

  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 too good

  Don't send me no more letters no

  Not unless you mail them

  From Desolation Row
