Desperation

歌詞

She ran out of luck and started sweatin' bullets She tried to get a job but she couldn't do it Now she's livin' in a suitcase out on the street He said I love your family they sure are funny You know I hate to ask but can you loan me some money Tryin' to get a grip, tryin' to get back on my feet She's sleepin' in the kitchen on the hardwood floor Said it fixed her back, it don't hurt no more She's lookin' real good, but she's still havin' trouble with her knees They lookin' for some kinda satisfaction Workin' off some kinda chain reaction Tryin' to get a handle on whatever it is they need Victims... of the situation Can't rise above their own desperation They keep on pushin' But they can't get it up to speed He's standin' in the mirror combin' his hair Gettin' all dressed up but he ain't goin' nowhere You could cut him with a knife And I betcha he wouldn't even bleed He said hey doc take a look at this It don't work and I'm scared to death He said I got somethin' for you but you only get the first one free Never seen a woman that crazy 'bout a man Like a devil and an angel hand and hand She knows what he is, but that ain't the life he leads They lookin' for some kinda satisfaction Workin' off some kinda chain reaction Tryin' to get a handle on whatever it is they need Victims... of the situation Can't rise above their own desperation They keep on pushin' But they can't get it up to speed
