Desolation Row Revisited~A Dylan Knock Off
Well the Mardi Gras has ended, purple violets are in bloom
While everyone pretended, fast asleep in the next room
The states are still in celebration with awards of fun attire
Busy newsrooms spouting nothing much be that as it may the moon and sun on fire,
While crickets dance in tails and hats beside their whisky stills
Cervantes and Pancha Villa are riding rubber windmills
There's no more petrol to fire their trusty tanks
As rabid packs of frothing colonels and generals
Rush to withdraw worthless papers from blank banks
Paper soldiers play with plastic rifles while carnival truth hawks turn the cranks,
All the true believers just die and say thanks;
The pristine screams of vapid screens suggest what you must know
Spreading gossipy secrets for free, someone has to now,
Robin Hood and F. Scott Fitzgerald dancing tango on the graves
While Maid Marian gets 10% of every road that she paves
But she is the little tramp they say she doesn't need the money no
As her and Mowgli swear sacrifical cows under a neon glow,
Yes they are sworn to loyalty and secrecy forbidden to speak their peace
When a moo is as good as a guess to a blind bat the lambs will stand naked in their fleece,
Of course the secretary is too funny and she reads them cartoon notes
While all the seals press fish her way which she smokes to feed the goats,
Dinosaurs flock to Las Vegas, the species is going extinct
All around The Le Brea Tar Pits, cooks stir fossils in a sink,
The smokewhistle gears are grinding loud running 7/24
Mental factories breaking down, don't work too good no more
Imaginary creatures dressed in tails and fairy wings
Masks of Dr Moreau sutures and all that it brings
Are dancing on the table rattling silverware praising San Pedro
As pristine screams on vapid screens suggest what they must know~
