Desperate Man Songtext
von Giant Sand

Bad dream ′bout the town on fire
Angels singing with the devil's choir
Last night, I had a dream about the night before
Bad man with bad lips around and Colt 44
Whoa-oh, ah-ah-ah, aha

He was a desperate man
A desperate man
A desperate man
His clock was wound too tight
He needed life
To feel in control of his destiny


I got dealin′, fillin' in spaces of my stereo
I take your song, ride along when it's time to go
On to the corner bar, I hear the mariachi
They get you so drunk, I can′t find my car key
Whoa-oh, ah-ah-ah, aha

I′m a desperate man
A desperate man
A desperate man
My clock is wound too tight
I need a fucking life
To feel in control of a destiny

Blue wire, blue wire
My heart, my heart's a liar
Well, it′s a wonder we made it home alive
What a wonder, you let me drive
Whoa-oh, ah-ah-ah, aha
Yeah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Yeah, aha


Yeah, yeah
Desperate man, yeah-yeah
He's a desperate man, yeah
