🎵 Luyện Nghe Bài Hát: Desolation Row - Bob Dylan

 They're selling postcards  the hanging
 They're painting  passports brown
 The beauty  is filled with sailors
 The circus  in town
 Here comes the  commissioner
 They've got him in a 
 One hand  tied to the tight-rope walker
 The other is in  pants
 And  riot squad they're restless
  need somewhere to go
 As Lady and I  out tonight
 From Desolation 
 
 Cinderella, she seems so 
 "It takes  to know one," she smiles
 And puts her  in her back pockets
 Bette Davis 
 And  comes Romeo, he's moaning
 "You belong to me I 
 And someone says, "You're in the wrong  my friend
 You better 
 And the only  that's left
 After  ambulances go
 Is Cinderella  up
 On  Row.
 
  the moon is almost hidden
 The stars are  to hide
 The  lady
 Has even taken  her things inside
 All except for  and Abel
  the hunchback of Notre Dame
  is making love
  else expecting rain
 And the Good Samaritan,  dressing
  getting ready for the show
 He's  to the carnival tonight
  Desolation Row.
 
 Now  she's 'neath the window
 For her I feel so 
 On her  birthday
 She already is an old 
 To her,  is quite romantic
 She  an iron vest
 Her  her religion
  sin is her lifelessness
 And though her eyes are  upon
  great rainbow
 She  her time peeking
  Desolation Row.
 
 Einstein, disguised as  Hood
  his memories in a trunk
 Passed this way  hour ago
 With his friend, a  monk
 He looked so immaculately 
 As  bummed a cigarette
  he went off sniffing drainpipes
  reciting the alphabet
 You would not  to look at him
 But he was famous  ago
 For  the electric violin
 On  Row.
 
 Dr. Filth,  keeps his world
 Inside of a  cup
 But all his  patients
 They're trying to blow  up
 Now his nurse, some  loser
 She's in charge of the cyanide 
 And she  keeps the cards that read
 "Have Mercy on  Soul"
 They all play  penny whistles
 You can hear  blow
 If you  your head out far enough
 From Desolation 
 
 Across the  they've nailed the curtains
 They're getting ready  the feast
  Phantom of the Opera
 In a perfect  of a priest
  spoonfeeding Casanova
 To get  to feel more assured
 Then they'll kill him  self-confidence
 After  him with words
 And  Phantom's shouting to skinny girls
 "Get outa  if you don't know"
  is just being punished for going
 To  Row.
 
 At midnight all the 
 And the  crew
  out and round up everyone
 That knows more  they do
 Then they bring  to the factory
 Where the  machine
  strapped across their shoulders
  then the kerosene
 Is brought down  the castles
 By insurance  who go
 Check to see that nobody is 
 To Desolation 
 
 Praise be  Nero's Neptune
  Titanic sails at dawn
 Everybody's shouting
 "Which  are you on ?"
 And Ezra Pound and T. S. 
 Fighting in the  tower
 While calypso singers laugh at 
  fishermen hold flowers
  the windows of the sea
 Where  mermaids flow
 And nobody has to think too 
 About Desolation 
 
 Yes, I received your  yesterday
 About the time  door knob broke
 When you  me how I was doing
 Was that  kind of joke ?
 All  people that you mention
 Yes, I  them, they're quite lame
  had to rearrange their faces
 And give them all  name
 Right now I can't read  good
 Dont send me no  letters no
 Not unless  mail them
  Desolation Row.
