Desolation Row (Take 5 Remake, Complete) - Bob Dylan[00:00:00]

Written by：Bob Dylan[00:00:02]

They're selling postcards of the hanging[00:00:10]

They're painting the passports brown[00:00:15]

The beauty parlor is filled with sailors[00:00:21]

The circus is in town[00:00:26]

Here comes the blind commissioner[00:00:30]

They've got him in a trance[00:00:35]

One hand is tied to the tight rope walker[00:00:40]

The other is in his pants[00:00:45]

And the riot squad they're restless[00:00:49]

They need somewhere to go[00:00:55]

As lady and I look out tonight[00:00:59]

From desolation row[00:01:04]

Cinderella she seems so easy[00:01:16]

It takes one to know one she smiles[00:01:21]

And puts her hands in her back pockets[00:01:26]

Bette davis style[00:01:32]

And he's comes Romeo morning[00:01:36]

You belong to me I believe[00:01:40]

And someone tention sense to him my friend[00:01:45]

You better leave[00:01:52]

And the only sound that's left[00:01:55]

After the ambulances go[00:02:01]

Is Cinderella sweeping up[00:02:05]

On desolation row[00:02:09]

Now the moon is almost hidden[00:02:19]

The stars they begin to hide[00:02:24]

Even the fortunetelling lady[00:02:29]

Has taken all her things inside[00:02:35]

All except for Cain and Abel[00:02:39]

And the hunchback of notre dame[00:02:43]

Everybody this's making love[00:02:49]

Or else expecting rain[00:02:53]

And the good samaritan he's dressing[00:02:58]

He's getting ready for the show[00:03:03]

He's going to the carnival[00:03:08]

On desolation row[00:03:12]

Ophelia she's 'neath the window[00:03:22]

For her I feel afraid[00:03:27]

On her twenty second birthday[00:03:32]

She already is an old maid[00:03:37]

To her death is quite romantic[00:03:42]

She wears an iron vest[00:03:47]

Her profession's her religion[00:03:51]

Her sin is her lifelessness[00:03:57]

And though her eyes are fixed upon[00:04:01]

Noah's rainbow[00:04:06]

She spends her time peeking[00:04:11]

Into desolation row[00:04:14]

Einstein disguised as Robin Hood[00:04:25]

With his memories in a trunk[00:04:30]

Passed this way an hour ago[00:04:35]

With his friend a jealous monk[00:04:39]

He looked so immaculately frightful[00:04:44]

As he bummed a cigarette[00:04:48]

And he went off sniffing drainpipes[00:04:53]

And reciting the alphabet[00:04:58]

You would not think to look at him[00:05:03]

But he was famous long ago[00:05:07]

For playing the electric violin[00:05:13]

About desolation row[00:05:17]

Dr. Filth he keeps his world[00:05:29]

Inside of a leather cup[00:05:34]

But all his sexless patients[00:05:38]

They're trying to blow it up[00:05:43]

Now his nurse some local loser[00:05:48]

She's in charge of the cyanide hose[00:05:53]

She also keeps the cards that read[00:05:57]

Have mercy on his soul[00:06:02]

They all play the penny whistles[00:06:07]

You can hear them blow[00:06:12]

If you lean your head out far enough[00:06:16]

From desolation row[00:06:21]

Across the street they've nailed the curtains[00:06:30]

They're getting ready for the feast[00:06:35]

A phantom of the opera[00:06:40]

In the perfect image of a priest[00:06:44]

They's spoonfeeding casanova[00:06:49]

The guts of birds[00:06:55]

Then they'll kill him with self confidence[00:06:58]

And poisoning him with words[00:07:03]

And the phantom's shouting to skinny girls[00:07:08]

Get outa here if you don't know[00:07:13]

Casanova is just being punished for going[00:07:18]

To desolation row[00:07:22]

Now at midnight all the agents[00:07:34]

And the superhuman crew[00:07:39]

Come out and round up everybody[00:07:44]

That knows more than they do[00:07:48]

Then they bring them to the factory[00:07:53]

And the heart attack machine[00:07:58]

Is strapped across their shoulders[00:08:02]

And then the kerosene[00:08:07]

Is brought down from the castles[00:08:12]

By insurance men who go[00:08:16]

Check to see that nobody is escaping[00:08:21]

To desolation row[00:08:26]

Praise be to Nero's Neptune[00:08:36]

The titanic sails at dawn[00:08:40]

And everybody's shouting[00:08:45]

Which side are you on[00:08:50]

And ezra pound and T S Eliot[00:08:55]

Fighting in the captain's tower[00:09:00]

While calypso singers laugh at them[00:09:04]

And fishermen hold flowers[00:09:09]

Between the windows of the sea[00:09:14]

Where lovely mermaids flow[00:09:18]

And nobody ever has to think too much[00:09:23]

About desolation row[00:09:27]

I received your letter yesterday[00:09:37]

About the time the door knob broke[00:09:42]

When you asked me how I was doing[00:09:47]

Is that some kind of joke[00:09:52]

Is all these people that you mention[00:09:59]

I know them they're quite lame[00:10:04]

I had to rearrange their faces[00:10:08]

And give them all another name[00:10:13]

Right now I'm just walking by myself[00:10:18]

Don't read me no more letters no[00:10:22]

Unless of couse you mail them[00:10:28]

From desolation row[00:10:31]
