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 |
