.
They're selling postcards of the hangingWhere they're painting the passports brown
Yeah, the beauty parlor's filled with sailors
The circus is in town
Oh now but here comes the blind commissioner
Well, 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 so easy
"Well, it takes one to know one," she smiles
And she puts her hands in her back pockets
Bette Davis style
Now but 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 then 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

true, this song is a cover of bob dylan's "desolation row," but a great cover it is. with the agressive and rebellious sound of this song cover, it fit with the entire idea of watchmen perfectly. two-thumbs-up to my chemical romance

Hi all who are confused.
The current entry for this song is wrong, kinda. A lot of lyrics were cut out from Bob Dylan's original version to make it more aggressive and more relevant to the movie Watchmen, of which it is part of the soundtrack. A few words are added in/taken out/changed here and there too. After about a dozen verifications listening closely, this is what I've got.

To be anal, more so than I already am, make that line:
That knows more than they do (knows more than they do)
... instead. And add:
Argh
