🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: Desolation Row - Bob Dylan

 They're selling postcards of  hanging
 They're painting the passports 
 The beauty  is filled with sailors
 The  is in town
 Here  the blind commissioner
 They've got him in a 
 One hand is tied to the tight-rope 
 The other is  his pants
  the riot squad they're restless
 They need somewhere to 
 As Lady  I look out tonight
 From  Row.
 
 Cinderella, she seems  easy
  takes one to know one," she smiles
 And puts  hands in her back pockets
 Bette  style
 And in comes  he's moaning
 "You belong to me I 
 And someone says, "You're in the wrong place,  friend
 You  leave"
 And the only sound that's 
 After the  go
  Cinderella sweeping up
 On  Row.
 
 Now the moon  almost hidden
 The stars are  to hide
 The  lady
 Has even taken all  things inside
 All except for Cain and 
 And the  of Notre Dame
  is making love
  else expecting rain
 And the Good  he's dressing
 He's getting  for the show
 He's  to the carnival tonight
 On  Row.
 
 Now Ophelia, she's 'neath  window
 For her I feel  afraid
 On  twenty-second birthday
 She already is  old maid
 To her,  is quite romantic
  wears an iron vest
  profession's her religion
 Her  is her lifelessness
 And  her eyes are fixed upon
 Noah's great 
 She spends her time 
  Desolation Row.
 
 Einstein,  as Robin Hood
 With his  in a trunk
 Passed this way  hour ago
 With  friend, a jealous monk
 He looked so immaculately 
 As he bummed a 
  he went off sniffing drainpipes
 And  the alphabet
 You would not think to look at 
 But he was famous  ago
 For playing the  violin
 On  Row.
 
 Dr. Filth, he keeps  world
 Inside of a leather 
 But all his sexless 
 They're trying to blow it 
 Now his nurse,  local loser
 She's in charge of  cyanide hole
 And she also keeps the cards that 
 "Have Mercy  His Soul"
 They  play on penny whistles
 You  hear them blow
 If you  your head out far enough
 From  Row.
 
 Across the  they've nailed the curtains
  getting ready for the feast
 The  of the Opera
 In a perfect image of a 
 They're  Casanova
 To get him to  more assured
 Then they'll kill him with 
 After poisoning  with words
 And the Phantom's shouting to  girls
 "Get outa here if you  know"
 Casanova  just being punished for going
 To  Row.
 
  midnight all the agents
 And the superhuman 
 Come out and round up 
 That knows more than they 
  they bring them to the factory
 Where  heart-attack machine
 Is strapped across their 
 And then the 
 Is brought down  the castles
 By  men who go
 Check to see that  is escaping
  Desolation Row.
 
 Praise be to  Neptune
  Titanic sails at dawn
 Everybody's shouting
 "Which side are you on 
 And Ezra Pound and T.  Eliot
  in the captain's tower
 While calypso singers laugh at 
 And  hold flowers
 Between the windows of  sea
  lovely mermaids flow
 And  has to think too much
 About  Row.
 
 Yes, I  your letter yesterday
 About the time the door  broke
 When you asked me how I was 
 Was that some kind of joke 
 All these people that  mention
  I know them, they're quite lame
 I had to rearrange their 
 And give  all another name
  now I can't read too good
 Dont send me  more letters no
 Not unless you mail 
  Desolation Row.
