As Lady and I look out tonight

Cinderella, she seems so easy
F C
"It takes one to know one," she smiles

And puts her hands in her back pockets

Bette Davis style
And in comes Romeo, he's moaning
F C
'You Belong to Me, I Believe"
G
And someone says, "You're in the wrong place, my friend
F C
You'd better leave"

And the only sound thatâs left

Ophelia, she's 'neath the window

On her twentysecond birthday

She already is an old maid
To her, death is quite romantic
F C
She wears an iron vest
G
Her profession's her religion

Her sin is her lifelessness

And though her eyes are fixed upon
C F
Noah's great rainbow
C G
She spends her time peeking

Into Desolation Row
[Verse 5]

C Csus4 C
Einstein, disguised as Robin Hood
F C
With his memories in a trunk
G
Passed this way an hour ago
F C
With his friend, a jealous monk
Now he looked so immaculately frightful
F C
As he bummed a cigarette
G
Then he went off sniffing drainpipes
F C
And reciting the alphabet
F
You would not think to look at him
C F
But he was famous long ago
C G
For playing the electric violin

On Desolation Row
[Verse 6]

Doctor Filth, he keeps his world

Inside of a leather cup

But all his sexless patients

Now his nurse, some local loser
F C
She's in charge of the cyanide hole

And she also keeps the cards that read
F C
"Have mercy on his soul"

They all play on the pennywhistle

You can hear them blow

If you lean your head out far enough

Across the street they've nailed the curtains
F C
They're getting ready for the feast
G
The Phantom of the Opera
F C
In a perfect image of a priest
They are spoon feeding Casanova
F C
To get him to feel more assured
G
Then they'll kill him with selfconfidence
F
After poisoning him with words
C F
And the Phantom's shouting to skinny girls
C F
"Get outta here if you donât know
C G
Casanova is just being punished for going
F C Csus4 C Csus4
To Desolation Row"
[Verse 8]
---------------------
C Csus4 C
At midnight all the agents
F C
And the superhuman crew
G
Come out and round up everyone
F C
That knows more than they do
Then they bring them to the factory
F
Where the heart attack machine
C G
Is strapped across their shoulders
F C
And then the kerosene

Is brought down from the castles
C F
By insurance men who go
C G
Check to see that nobody is escaping

Praise be to Nero's Neptune
F C
The Titanic sails at dawn

Everybody's shouting

"Which side are you on?"
And Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot
F C
Fighting in the captain's tower
G
While calypso singers laugh at them
F C
And fishermen hold flowers
F
Between the windows of the sea
C F
Where lovely mermaids flow
C G
And nobody has to think too much
F C Csus4

C Csus4 C
Yes, I received your letter yesterday
F C
About the time the doorknob broke
G
When you asked me how I was doing
F C
Was that some kinda joke?
All these people that you mention
F C
Yes, I know them, they're quite lame
G
I had to rearrange their faces
F
And give them all another name
C F
Right now, I canât read too good
C F
Don't send me no more letters, no
C G
Not unless you mail them
