Desolation Row (Live at TCN 9 TV, Sydney, Australia - April 1966) - Bob Dylan[00:00:00]

Lyrics by：Bob Dylan[00:00:02]

Composed by：Bob Dylan[00:00:03]

They're selling postcards of the hanging[00:00:15]

They're painting the passports brown[00:00:19]

The beauty parlor is filled with sailors the circus is in town[00:00:23]

Here comes the blind commissioner they've got him in a trance[00:00:32]

One hand is tied to the tight-rope[00:00:39]

Walker the other is in his pants[00:00:41]

And the riot squad they're restless[00:00:47]

They need somewhere to go[00:00:51]

As Lady and I look out tonight from Desolation Row[00:00:55]

Cinderella she seems so easy[00:01:09]

It takes one to know one she smiles[00:01:14]

And puts her hands into her back[00:01:18]

Pockets Bette Davis style[00:01:19]

And in comes Romeo he's moaning[00:01:26]

You Belong to Me I Believe[00:01:29]

And someone turns in the face TV here[00:01:34]

My friend you'd better leave[00:01:37]

And the only sound that's left after the ambulances go[00:01:41]

Is Cinderella sweeping up on Desolation Row[00:01:49]

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

They are just pretending to hide[00:02:05]

The fortune telling lady has even taken all her things inside[00:02:08]

All except for Cain and Abel and the hunchback of Notre Dame[00:02:16]

Everyone is he the making love or else expecting rain[00:02:25]

And the Good Samaritan he's dressing[00:02:32]

He's getting ready for the show[00:02:36]

He's going to the carnival tonight on Desolation Row[00:02:40]

Ophelia she's 'neath the window for her I feel so afraid[00:02:51]

On her twenty-second birthday she already is an old maid[00:02:59]

Not to her death is quite romantic[00:03:06]

She wears an iron vest[00:03:11]

Her profession's her religion[00:03:14]

Her sin is her lifelessness[00:03:18]

And though her eyes are fixed upon Noah's great rainbow[00:03:22]

She spends her time peeking into Desolation Row[00:03:30]

Einstein disguised as Robin Hood[00:03:43]

With his memories in a trunk[00:03:47]

Passed this way an hour ago with[00:03:52]

His friend a jealous monk[00:03:55]

Now he looked so immaculately frightful[00:03:59]

As he bummed a cigarette[00:04:03]

And he when off sniffing drainpipes[00:04:07]

And reciting the alphabet[00:04:11]

You would not think to look at[00:04:15]

Him but he was famous long ago[00:04:19]

For playing the electric violin on Desolation Row[00:04:24]

Dr Filth he keeps his world[00:04:35]

Locked inside of a leather cup[00:04:40]

But all his sexless patients they're trying to blow it up[00:04:44]

Now his nurse some local loser she's[00:04:52]

In charge of the cyanide hole[00:04:56]

And she also keeps the cards[00:05:00]

That read Have Mercy on His Soul[00:05:03]

They all play on the penny whistles you can hear them blow[00:05:08]

If you lean your head out far enough from Desolation Row[00:05:15]

Across the street they've nailed the curtains[00:05:27]

They're getting ready for the feast[00:05:31]

The Phantom of the Opera in a perfect image of a priest[00:05:35]

They are spoon feeding Casanova to[00:05:42]

Get him to feel more assured[00:05:47]

Then they'll kill him with self-confidence[00:05:50]

After poisoning him with words[00:05:54]

And the Phantom's shouts to skinny girls[00:05:58]

Get outta here if you don't know[00:06:03]

Casanova he is just being punished[00:06:06]

For going to Desolation Row[00:06:10]

At midnight all the agents and the superhuman crew[00:06:19]

Come out and round up everyone[00:06:27]

That knows more than they do[00:06:30]

Then they bring them to the factory[00:06:34]

Where the heart-attack machine[00:06:38]

Is strapped across their shoulders and then the kerosene[00:06:43]

Is brought down from the castles by insurance men who go[00:06:50]

Check to see that noone is escaping to Desolation Row[00:06:58]

Praise be to Nero's Neptune the Titanic sails at dawn[00:07:09]

Everybody's shouting Which side are you on[00:07:18]

And Ezra Pound and TS Eliot[00:07:25]

Fighting in the captain's tower[00:07:30]

While calypso singers laugh at[00:07:33]

Them and fishermen hold flowers[00:07:36]

Between the windows of the sea[00:07:41]

Where lovely mermaids flow[00:07:45]

And nobody has to think too[00:07:49]

Much about Desolation Row[00:07:53]

Yes I received your letter yesterday[00:08:48]

About the time the doorknob broke[00:08:54]

When you asked me how I was doing[00:08:58]

Was that some kind of joke[00:09:02]

All these people that you mention[00:09:05]

Yes I know them they're quite lame[00:09:10]

I had to rearrange their faces[00:09:14]

And give them all another name[00:09:17]

Right now I can't read too good[00:09:21]

Don't send me no more letters no[00:09:25]

Not unless you mail them from Desolation Row[00:09:30]
