Desperate Man |
| It’s cold in the alley and it’s cold upon the stair |
| And he’s got to keep on running but he knows he’ll never get there |
| The long night is cruel he can never go home |
| And he’s out on the street and he’s feeling so alone |
| Oh lord he is a desperate man |
| They’ve used him, abused him and fooled him again |
| Oh lord he is a desperate man |
| Oh lord he’s a desperate man |
| Three kids between one and five and another on the way |
| And his poor little lovely she looked older every day |
| Thinks of all the chances that he lost upon the way |
| Opportunities have vanished like a needle in the hay |
| Oh lord he is a desperate man |
| They’ve used him, abused him and fooled him again |
| Oh lord he is a desperate man |
| Oh lord he’s a desperate man |
| The street’s running empty and it’s getting so late |
| Your man stands in the shadows but how long can he wait? |
| Cold consolation in a cheap bottle of wine |
| And the future fades and withers as he slips further in decline |
| Oh lord he is a desperate man |
| They’ve used him, abused him and fooled him again |
| Oh lord he is a desperate man |
| Oh lord he’s a desperate man |
