Luyện nghe bài hát Desolation Row

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

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

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

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

Ophelia, she's 'neath the for her I feel so afraid
On her twenty-second she already is an old maid
To her, death is quite romantic she wears an 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 with his memories in a
Passed this way an hour ago with his friend, a monk
Now he looked so immaculately frightful as he a cigarette
And he when off drainpipes and reciting the alphabet
You not think to look at him, but he was famous long ago
For playing the violin on Desolation Row

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

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

At midnight all the agents and the superhuman
Come out and round up everyone that more than they do
they bring them to the factory where the heart-attack machine
Is strapped their shoulders and then the kerosene
Is down from the castles by insurance men who go
Check to see that 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. Eliot in the captain's tower
calypso singers laugh at them and fishermen hold flowers
Between the windows of the sea where mermaids flow
And nobody has to think too much Desolation Row

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