E E E E
Estrofe 1
E
They're selling postcards of the hanging,
A E
they're painting the passports brown
B
The beauty parlor is filled with sailors,
A E
the circus is in town
E
Here comes the blind commissioner,
A E
they've got him in a trance
B
One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker,
A E
the other is in his pants
Instrumental
E A
they need somewhere to go
E B
As Lady and I look out tonight, from
A E
Desolation Row
Estrofe 2
E
Cinderella, she seems so easy,
A E
"It takes one to know one," she smiles
B
And puts her hands in her back pockets
A E
Bette Davis style
E
And in comes Romeo, he's moaning.
A E
"You belong to Me I believe"
B
And someone says,
Instrumental
A E
you'd better leave"
A
And the only sound that's left
E A
after the ambulances go
E B
Is Cinderella sweeping up on
A E
Desolation Row
Estrofe 3
E
Now the moon is almost hidden,
A E
the stars are beginning to hide
B
The fortune telling lady
A E
has even taken all her things inside
Instrumental
A E
and the hunchback of Notre Dame
B
Everybody is making love
A E
or else expecting rain
A
And the Good Samaritan, he's dressing,
E A
he's getting ready for the show
E B
He's going to the carnival tonight on
A E
Desolation Row
Estrofe 4
E
Ophelia, she's 'neath the window
A E
for her I feel so a fraid
Instrumental
A E
she already is an old maid
E
To her, death is quite romantic
A E
she wears an iron vest
B
Her profession's her religion,
A E
her sin is her lifelessness
A
And though her eyes are fixed
E A
upon Noah's great rainbow
E B
She spends her time peeking into
A E
Desolation Row
Estrofe 5
E
Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood
Instrumental
B
Passed this way an hour ago
A E
with his friend, a jealous monk
E
Now he looked so immaculately frightful
A E
as he bummed a cigarette
B
And he went off sniffing drainpipes
A E
and reciting the alphabet
A
You would not think to look at him,
E A
but he was famous long ago
E B
For playing the electric violin on
A E
Desolation Row
Estrofe 6
E
Dr. Filth, he keeps his world
A E
in side of a leather cup
B
But all his sexless patients,
A E
they're trying to blow it up
E
Now his nurse, some local loser,
A E
she's in charge of the cyanide hole
B
And she also keeps the cards that read,
A E
"Have Mercy on His Soul"
A
They all play on the penny whistles,
E A
you can hear them blow
E B
If you lean your head out far enough from
Instrumental
Estrofe 7
E
Across the street they've nailed the curtains,
A E
they're getting ready for the feast
B
The Phantom of the Opera
A E
in a perfect image of a priest
E
They are spoon feeding Casanova
A E
to get him to feel more assured
B
Then they'll kill him with self-confidence
A E
after poisoning him with words
A
And the Phantom's shouting to skinny girls,
Instrumental
E B
Casanova is just being punished for going to
A E
Desolation Row
Estrofe 8
E
At midnight all the agents
A E
and the superhuman crew
B
Come out and round up everyone
A E
that knows more than they do
E
Then they bring them to the factory
A E
where the heart-attack machine
B
Is strapped across their shoulders
A E
and then the kerosene
Instrumental
E A
by insurance men who go
E B
Check to see that nobody is escaping to
A E
Desolation Row
Estrofe 9
E
Praise be to Nero's Neptune,
A E
the Ti tanic sails at dawn
B
Everybody's shouting,
A E
"Which side are you on?!"
E
And Ez ra Pound and T.S. Eliot
A E
fighting in the captain's tower
Final
A E
and fishermen hold flowers
A
Be tween the windows of the sea
E A
where lovely mermaids flow
E B
And nobody has to think too much about
A E

Estrofe 10
E
Yes, I received your letter yesterday,
A E
about the time the doorknob broke
B
When you asked me how I was doing,
A E
was that some kind of joke
E
All these people that you mention,
A E
yes, I know them, they're quite lame
B
I had to rearrange their faces
A E
and give them all another name
A
Right now, I can't read too good,
E A
don't send me no more letters no
E B
Not unless you mail them from
A E

«Desolation Row» é uma canção composta pelo cantor americano Bob Dylan. Foi incluída no álbum Highway 61 Revisited, lançado em 30 de agosto de 1965. A canção tem onze minutos de duração e evoca diferentes momentos, parábolas e fatos históricos, como os linchamentos de Duluth de 1920.

La historia detrás

Onze minutos e vinte segundos de guitarra acústica e letra ininterrupta: assim é Desolation Row, a faixa de encerramento do álbum Highway 61 Revisited de Bob Dylan, gravada em 4 de agosto de 1965 nos estúdios Columbia de Nova York. A canção desfila por parábolas, personagens e momentos históricos —incluindo os linchamentos de Duluth de 1920— sem que haja uma narrativa linear para guiá-lo. Tudo em formato folk rock, produzida por Bob Johnston. Existe também uma tomada alternativa com guitarra elétrica e baixo mais pronunciado, que foi lançada em The Bootleg Series Vol. 7: No Direction Home: The Soundtrack. A canção deixou marca em outros músicos: Joe Strummer a menciona em Coma Girl (do álbum Streetcore, 2003), Joaquín Sabina a referencia em Peces de ciudad (do álbum Dímelo en la calle, 2002), e My Chemical Romance lançou sua própria versão em janeiro de 2010, declarando que buscaram o som dos Sex Pistols.
