Desolation Row - My Chemical Romance (Watchmen Cover)
they're selling postcards of the hanging
they're painting the passports brown
the beauty parlor's filled with sailors
the circus is in town
now here comes the blind commissioner
they got him in a trance
one hand is tied to the tight-rope walker
the other's 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 to easy
"well it takes one to know one," she smiles
and she puts her hands in her back pockets
the Bette Davis style
here 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 at midnight all the agents
and superhuman crew
goes out and round up everyone
who knows more then they do
they gonna bring them 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 letters, no
not unless you're gonna mail them from
Desolation Row
