Desolation Row (As Made Famous By My Chemical Romance) - Various Artists

They're selling postcards of the hanging

They're painting the passports brown

The beauty parlor is filled with sailors

The circus is in town

Here comes the blind commissioner

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

"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

"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 at midnight all the agents

And super-human crew

Go out 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

Cause right now I can't read too good

Don't send me no letters no

Not unless you gotta mail them

From Desolation Row
