Lyrics
They're selling postcards of the hanging Well, they're painting the passports brown Yeah, the beauty parlor's filled with sailors The circus is in town Oh, now look, here comes the blind commissioner Well, they got him in a trance One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker The other's in his pants And the riot squad they're restless They need somewhere to go As Lady and I look out tonight from Desolation Row Cinderella, she seems so easy "Well, it takes one to know one," she smiles And she puts her hands in her back pockets Oh, Bette Davis style And now here comes Romeo, moaning "You belong to me, I believe" And if someone says, "You're in the wrong place, my friend" You better leave And then the only sound that's left After the ambulances go Is Cinderella sweeping up on Desolation Row Yeah! Now at midnight, all the agents And superhuman crew Go out and round up everyone That knows more than they do (Knows more than they do) They're going to bring them to the factory Where the heart-attack machine Is strapped across their shoulders And then the kerosene Is brought down from the castles By insurance men who go Check to see that no one is escaping to Desolation Row 'Cause right now, I can't read too good Don't send me no letters, no Not unless you're going to mail them from Desolation Row Ah!
