Lyrics Desperate Eyes - Jay Gruska

Desperate Eyes

Quarter to nine
She’s winding through the canyon
Voice on the radio
Her sole companion
Every day she asks herself
Why he left
But she’s gonna spend the night
Trying to forget
She has desperate eyes
Desperate eyes
In her red party dress
She is looking her best
But her makeup can’t hide
Can’t hide those desperate eyes
Desperate eyes
Seems like all of her life
She’s been caught in this vise
Desperate eyes
Lost in the crowd
She tries on many faces
Going from eager looks
To distant gazes
Once she had someone
Who kept her from harm
It’s all she’s looking for
In a stranger’s arms
Desperate eyes
Desperate eyes
In her red party dress
She is looking her best
But her makeup can’t hide
Can’t hide those desperate eyes
Whoa, desperate eyes
Seems like all of her life
She’s been caught in this vise
Desperate eyes
Desperate eyes
Desperate eyes
In the red party dress
She is looking her best
But her makeup can’t hide
She can’t hide those desperate eyes
Oh, desperate eyes
Seems like all of her life
She’s been caught in this vise
Desperate eyes
Desperate eyes
She has desperate eyes
Ooh, desperate eyes
Desperate eyes
Desperate eyes
