they need somewhere to go

her back pockets,
Betty Davis style

An d in comes Romeo, he's moaning,
you belong to me, I believe

Now Ophelia, she's near the window,
for her I feel so afraid
On her 22nd birthday
she already is an old, maid
To her death is quite romantic,
she wears an iron vest
F
G
Her professions, her religion,
her sins, her lifelessness
And though her eyes are fixed
upon Noah's great rainbow
She spends her time peeking
into Desolation Row
Desolation!
Einstein disguised as Robin Hood
with his memories in a trunk
Passed this way an hour ago

as he bummed a cigarette

and reciting the alphabet
Now you would not think to look at him,
but he was famous long ago

For playing the electric violin

Em
on Desolation Road
