They're selling[G] postcards[F] of the[G] hanging
They're[F] painting the passports[G] brown
The [C]beauty parlor is filled with sailors
[F]The circus is in[G] town
[G]Here comes the blind commissioner
They've[F] got him in a[G] trance
One[C] hand is tied to the tight-rope walker
[F]The other is in his[G] pants
And the[F] riot squad they're restless
They[G] need somewhere to[F] go
Gs[G] Lady and I look[C] out tonight
From[F] Desolation[G] Row

Cinde[G]rella,[F] she seems so[G] easy
"It[F] takes one to know one," she[G] smiles
And[C] puts her hands in her back pockets
[F]Bette Davis style[G]
And[G] in comes Romeo, he's moaning
"You Be[F]long to Me I Be[G]lieve"
And [C]someone says," You're in the wrong place, my friend
[F]You better[G] leave"
And the[F] only sound that's left
[G]After the ambulances[F] go
Is [G]Cinderella[C] sweeping up
On[F] Desolation[G] Row

Now the[G] moon is[F] almost[G] hidden
The[F] stars are beginning to[G] hide
The[C] fortunetelling lady
Has even[F] taken all her things in[G]side
All ex[G]cept for Cain and G#el
And the[F] hunchback of Notre[G] Dame
[C]Everybody is making love
Or[F] else expecting[G]rain
And the[F] Good Samaritan, he's dressing
He's getting[G] ready for the [F]show
He's[G] going to the[C] carnival tonight
On[F] Desolation[G] Row

Now O[G]phelia,[F] she's 'neath the[G] window
For[F]her I feel so af[G]raid
On her[C] twenty-second birthday
She al[G]ready is an old[F]maid
To[G] her, death is quite romantic
She[F] wears an iron[G] vest
Her pro[C]fession's her religion
Her[F] sin is her lifeless[G]ness
And [F]though her eyes are fixed upon
[G]Noah's great rain[F]bow
She[G] spends her time[C] peeking
Into[F] Desolation[G] Row

[G]Einstein,[F] disguised as[G] Robin Hood
With his[F] memories in a[G] trunk
[C]Passed this way an hour ago
With his[F] friend, a jealous[G] monk
He[G] looked so immaculately frightful
As he[F] bummed a cigar[G]ette
Then he[C] went off sniffing drainpipes
And re[F]citing the alpha[G]bet
Now[F] you would not think to look at him
But he was[G] famous long a[F]go
For[G] playing the electric[C] violin
On[F] Desolation[G] Row

Dr.[G] Filth,[F] he keeps his[G] world
In[F]side of a leather[G] cup
But[C] all his sexless patients
They're[F] trying to blow it[G] up
Now his[G] nurse, some local loser
She's in[F] charge of the cyanide[G] hole
And sh[C] also keeps the cards that read
"Have[F] Mercy on His[G] Soul"
[F]They all play on penny whistles
[G]You can hear them[F] blow
If you[G] lean your head out[C] far enough
From[F] Desolation[G] Row

Across the[G] street they've[F] nailed the[G] curtains
They're getting[F] ready for the[G] feast
The [C]Phantom of the Opera
G [F]perfect image of a[G]priest
They're[G] spoonfeeding Casanova
To[F] get him to feel more as[G]sured
Then they'll[C] kill him with self-confidence
After [F]poisoning him with[G] words
And the[F] Phantom's shouting to skinny girls
"Get[G] Outa Here If You Don't[F] Know
Casa[G]nova is just being[C] punished for going
To[F] Desolation[G] Row"

Now at[G] midnight[F] all the[G] agents
And the [F]superhuman[G] crew
Come[C] out and round up everyone
That[F] knows more than they[F] do
Then they[G] bring them to the factory
Where the[F] heart-attack mac[G]hine
Is[C] strapped across their shoulders
And[F] then the kero[G]sene
Is[F] brought down from the castles
By in[G]surance men who[F] go
Check to[G] see that nobody is es[C]caping
To[F] Desolation[G] Row

[G]Praise be to[F] Nero's[G] Neptune
The Ti[F]tanic sails at[G] dawn
And[C] everybody's shouting out
"[F]Which Side Are You[G] On?"
And[G] Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot
[F]Fighting in the captain'[G] tower
While cal[C]ypso singers laugh at them
And[F]fishermen hold[G] flowers
Be[F]tween the windows of the sea
Where[G] lovely mermaids[F] flow
And[G] nobody has to[C] think too much
About [F]Desolation[G] Row

Yes, I re[G]ceived your[F] letter [G]yesterday
About the[F] time the door knob[G] broke
When you[C] asked how I was doing
Was [F]that some kind of[G]joke?
All these[G] people that you mention
Yes, I[F] know them, they're quite[G] lame
I had to[C] rearrange their faces
And give them[F] all another[G]name
[F]Right now I can't read too good
Don't[G] send me no more letters[F] no
[G]Not unless you[C] mail them
From [F]Desolation[G]Row
