My Chemical Romance - Desolation Row Lyrics

Send "Desolation Row" ringtones to your cell

They're selling postcards of the hanging 
Well they're painting the passports brown 
The beauty parlor is filled with sailors 
The circus is in town 
Now here comes the blind commissioner 
Well they've got him in a trance 
One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker 
The other is 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 
Bette Davis style 
And now in comes Romeo moaning 
"You Belong to Me I Believe" 
And someone says 
"You're in the wrong place my friend, you better leave" 
And the only sound that's left after the ambulances go 
Is Cinderella sweeping up on Desolation Row 

Now midnight all the agents and superhuman crew 
Go and round up everyone that knows more than they do 
They gonna bring 'em 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 

'Cuz right now I can't read too good 
Don't send me no letters no 
Not unless you gonna mail them 
From Desolation Row
