Desperation has a funny worth Eyes rolling forward at the mind's rebirth Desperation is a friend at hand The reach for touch in this arid land Oh, but you, you know what you do Yeah, you, and your dancing shoes Oh, you, so good at writing tomorrow You do anything you want to Desperation is the things we miss It's the asteroid, it's the final kiss Desperation is the disconnect The warring sighs for some self respect Oh, but you, you are so beautifully wired Yeah, you, and your dancing shoes Oh, you, so good at being desired You do anything you want to Everything we miss Everything we miss Desperation was my sanctuary The Empire State of my sanity Desperation is a counter strike Against the giants and the rats alike Oh, but you, you go clear of the shadows Yeah, you, and your dancing shoes Oh, you, so good at writing tomorrow Would you, take me with you? You Desperation Desperation Desperation Desperation Desperation Desperation Desperation
