Luyện nghe bài hát Desolation Row

They're selling postcards of the hanging, they're the passports brown
The beauty is filled with sailors, the circus is in town
Here comes the blind commissioner, they've got him in a
One hand is tied to the walker, the other is in his pants
And the squad they're restless, they need somewhere to go
As Lady and I look out tonight, Desolation Row

Cinderella, she seems so easy, "It one to know one," she smiles
And puts her hands in her pockets Bette Davis style
And in comes Romeo, he's moaning. "You to Me I Believe"
And someone says, "You're in the wrong place, my friend, better leave"
And the only sound that's after the ambulances 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 Cain and Abel and the of Notre Dame

is making love or else expecting rain
And the Good Samaritan, he's dressing, he's getting for the show
He's going to the carnival tonight on Row

Ophelia, she's the window for her I feel so afraid
On her twenty-second she already is an old maid
To her, is quite romantic she wears an iron vest
Her profession's her religion, her sin is her
And though her eyes are fixed upon great rainbow
She spends her time into Desolation Row

Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood with his in a trunk
Passed way an hour ago with his friend, a jealous monk
Now he looked so frightful as he bummed a cigarette
And he when off sniffing drainpipes and reciting the
You not think to look at him, but he was famous long ago
For playing the electric on Desolation Row

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

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

At midnight all the agents and the crew
Come out and round up everyone that knows than they do
Then they bring them to the factory where the machine
Is strapped their shoulders and then the kerosene
Is brought down from the castles by men who go
Check to see that nobody is to Desolation Row

Praise be to Neptune, the Titanic sails at dawn
shouting, "Which side are you on?!"
And Ezra Pound and T.S. Eliot in the captain's tower
While calypso singers laugh at them and fishermen hold
Between the windows of the sea where mermaids flow
And nobody has to think too much Desolation Row

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