Luyện nghe bài hát Desolation Row

They're selling postcards of the hanging, they're painting the passports
The beauty is filled with sailors, the circus is in town
Here the blind commissioner, they've got him in a trance
One is tied to the tight-rope walker, the other is in his pants
And the squad they're restless, they need somewhere to go
As Lady and I look out tonight, Desolation Row

Cinderella, she seems so easy, "It takes one to one," she smiles
And puts her hands in her back Bette Davis style
And in Romeo, he's moaning. "You Belong to Me I Believe"
And someone says, "You're in the place, my friend, you'd better leave"
And the only sound that's left after the go
Is Cinderella sweeping up on Row

Now the moon is almost hidden, the are beginning to hide
The fortune telling lady has taken all her things inside
All for Cain and Abel and the hunchback of Notre Dame

is making love or else expecting rain
And the Good Samaritan, dressing, he's getting ready for the show
He's going to the carnival tonight on Row

Ophelia, 'neath the window for her I feel so afraid
On her twenty-second birthday she is an old maid
To her, death is quite romantic she wears an iron
Her her religion, her sin is her lifelessness
And though her are fixed upon Noah's great rainbow
She her time peeking into Desolation Row

Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood with his memories in a
Passed this way an hour ago with his friend, a jealous
Now he looked so frightful as he bummed a cigarette
And he when off sniffing drainpipes and the alphabet
You would not think to look at him, but he was long ago
For playing the electric violin on Row

Dr. Filth, he his world inside of a leather cup
But all his patients, they're trying to blow it up
Now his nurse, local loser, she's in charge of the cyanide hole
And she also keeps the cards that read, "Have on His Soul"
They all play on the penny whistles, you can them blow
If you lean your head out far enough Desolation Row

Across the street they've nailed the curtains, they're getting for the feast
The Phantom of the Opera in a perfect image of a
are spoon feeding Casanova to get him to feel more assured
Then they'll kill him with self-confidence after poisoning him with
And the Phantom's shouting to girls, "Get outta here if you don't know"
Casanova is just being punished for to Desolation Row"

At midnight all the agents and the crew
Come out and round up everyone that knows than they do
Then they them to the factory where the heart-attack machine
Is across their shoulders and then the kerosene
Is brought down from the by insurance men who go
Check to see nobody is escaping to Desolation Row

be to Nero's Neptune, the Titanic sails at dawn
Everybody's shouting, "Which are you on?!"
And Ezra Pound and T.S. fighting in the captain's tower
While calypso singers laugh at and fishermen hold flowers
Between the windows of the sea lovely mermaids flow
And has to think too much about Desolation Row

Yes, I received letter yesterday, about the time the doorknob broke
When you me how I was doing, was that some kind of joke
All these people that you mention, yes, I know them, quite lame
I had to rearrange their faces and give them all name
Right now, I can't too good, don't send me no more letters no
Not unless you mail them from Row
