| Song | Desolation Row (Live) |
| Artist | Bob Dylan |
| Album | MTV Unplugged |
| [00:47.70] | They're selling postcards of the hanging |
| [00:51.70] | They're painting the passports brown |
| [00:56.00] | The beauty parlor is filled with sailors |
| [00:59.10] | The circus is in town |
| [01:03.10] | Here comes the blind commissioner |
| [01:07.40] | They've got him in a trance |
| [01:11.10] | One hand is tied to the tight-rope walker |
| [01:14.60] | The other is in his pants |
| [01:18.40] | And the riot squad they're restless |
| [01:22.10] | They need somewhere to go |
| [01:25.50] | As Lady and I look out tonight |
| [01:29.90] | From Desolation Row |
| [01:33.50] | Cinderella, she seems so easy |
| [01:39.40] | "It takes one to know one," she smiles |
| [01:42.00] | Puts her hands in her back pockets |
| [01:46.70] | Bette Davis style |
| [01:50.20] | In comes Romeo, he's moaning |
| [01:54.50] | "You Belong to Me I Believe" |
| [01:57.04] | Someone turns and says," You're in the wrong room, my friend |
| [02:02.91] | You better hurry up and leave" |
| [02:05.13] | And the only sound that's left |
| [02:09.48] | After the ambulances go |
| [02:13.63] | Is Cinderella sweeping up |
| [02:17.66] | On Desolation Row |
| [02:20.94] | Now the moon is almost hidden |
| [02:29.72] | The stars are beginning to hide |
| [02:33.60] | The fortunetelling lady |
| [02:37.60] | Has even taken all her things inside |
| [02:41.12] | All except for Cain and Abel |
| [02:45.60] | And the hunchback of Notre Dame |
| [02:48.75] | Everybody is either making love |
| [02:53.70] | Or else expecting rain |
| [02:56.63] | And the Good Samaritan, he's dressing |
| [02:59.40] | He's getting ready for the show |
| [03:03.63] | He's going to the carnival tonight |
| [03:08.06] | On Desolation Row |
| [03:10.79] | Now Ophelia, she's 'neath the window |
| [03:17.32] | For her I feel so afraid |
| [03:20.31] | On her twenty-second birthday |
| [03:24.68] | She already is an old maid |
| [03:28.39] | To her, death is quite romantic |
| [03:32.27] | She wears an iron vest |
| [03:36.84] | Her profession's her religion |
| [03:39.56] | Her sin is her lifelessness |
| [03:43.82] | And though her eyes are fixed upon |
| [03:48.60] | Noah's great rainbow |
| [03:51.31] | She spends her time peeking |
| [03:55.42] | Into Desolation Row |
| [03:57.37] | Across the street they've nailed the curtains |
| [04:08.41] | They're getting ready for the feast |
| [04:11.68] | The Phantom of the Opera |
| [04:16.56] | In a perfect image of a priest |
| [04:19.42] | They're spoonfeeding Casanova |
| [04:23.87] | Get him to feel more assured |
| [04:27.84] | Then they'll kill him with self-confidence |
| [04:30.36] | After poisoning him with words |
| [04:35.60] | And the Phantom's shouting to skinny girls |
| [04:38.97] | "Get Outta Here If You Don't Know |
| [04:42.83] | Casanova is just being punished for going |
| [04:46.46] | To Desolation Row" |
| [04:49.83] | Now at midnight all the agents |
| [05:42.40] | And the superhuman crew |
| [05:46.02] | Come out and round up everyone |
| [05:50.23] | That knows more than they do |
| [05:53.97] | Then they bring them to the factory |
| [05:57.48] | Where the heart-attack machine |
| [06:01.14] | Is strapped across their shoulders |
| [06:05.38] | And then the kerosene |
| [06:09.68] | Is brought down from the castles |
| [06:13.19] | By insurance men who go |
| [06:16.67] | Check to see that nobody is escaping |
| [06:20.85] | Desolation Row |
| [06:24.52] | Yes, I received your letter yesterday |
| [06:29.73] | （About the time the door knob broke） |
| [06:33.46] | When you asked how I was doing |
| [06:37.28] | Was that some kind of joke? |
| [06:41.16] | All these people that you mention |
| [06:44.05] | Yes, I know them, they're quite lame |
| [06:48.32] | I had to rearrange their faces |
| [06:52.19] | And give them all another name |
| [06:56.63] | Right now I can't read too good |
| [07:00.55] | Don't send me no more letters no |
| [07:03.33] | Not unless you mail them |
| [07:08.60] | From Desolation Row |
