Desperation Town Songtext
von Holiday

A a voice comes out from the darkness
As I walk down by the Ganges
It′s Desperation Town tonight
Sir, would you you like to meet my friend
He's a baba don′t you know
If you've got the money, he's got the wisdom to show

How are you, my friend
I asked you just before
Would you like some spiritual advice
Or maybe you′d buy heroin or crack cocaine


I will try my hardest to make a friend down here
I will try my hardest to make a friend down here
I will try my hardest to make a friend down here
I will try my hardest to make a friend down here

A a voice comes out from the darkness
As I walk down by the Ganges
It′s Desperation Town tonight
See the Gods of Money
Shout louder than anybody
And this kingdom rots all the good things in sight

How are you, my friend
I asked you just before
Would you like some spiritual advice
Or maybe you'd buy heroin or crack cocaine


I will try my hardest to make a friend down here
I will try my hardest to make a friend down here
I will try my hardest to make a friend down here
I will try my hardest to make a friend down here
