Luyện nghe bài hát Desolation Row

They're selling postcards of the hanging, they're painting the brown
The beauty parlor is filled with sailors, the circus is in
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
And the riot squad they're restless, need somewhere to go
As and I look out tonight, from Desolation Row

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

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

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

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

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

Dr. Filth, he keeps his world inside of a 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 that read, "Have Mercy 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 nailed the curtains, they're getting ready for the feast
The Phantom of the Opera in a image of a priest
They are feeding Casanova to get him to feel more assured
Then they'll kill him self-confidence after poisoning him with words
And the Phantom's shouting to skinny girls, "Get outta 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 up everyone that knows more than they do
Then they bring them to the factory where the heart-attack
Is strapped across their shoulders and the kerosene
Is brought down from the castles by men who go
Check to see that is escaping to Desolation Row

Praise be to Neptune, the Titanic sails at dawn
Everybody's shouting, "Which are you on?!"
And Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot in the captain's tower
While calypso singers at them and fishermen hold flowers
Between the windows of the sea lovely mermaids flow
And nobody has to too much about Desolation Row

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