Desperadoes Under The Eaves |
| I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel |
| I was staring in my empty coffee cup |
| I was thinking that the gypsy wasn’t lyin' |
| All the salty margaritas in Los Angeles |
| I’m gonna drink 'em up |
| And if California slides into the ocean |
| Like the mystics and statistics say it will |
| I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill |
| Don’t the sun look angry through the trees |
| Don’t the trees look like crucified thieves |
| Don’t you feel like Desperados under the eaves |
| Heaven help the one who leaves |
| Still waking up in the mornings with shaking hands |
| And I’m trying to find a girl who understands me |
| But except in dreams you’re never really free |
| Don’t the sun look angry at me |
| I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel |
| I was listening to the air conditioner hum |
| It went mmm… |
| Look away |
| (Look away down Gower Avenue, look away) |
