Desperate Man

歌詞

It's cold in the alley and it's cold upon the stair And he's got to keep on running but he knows he'll never get there The long night is cruel he can never go home And he's out on the street and he's feeling so alone Oh lord he is a desperate man They've used him, abused him and fooled him again Oh lord he is a desperate man Oh lord he's a desperate man Three kids between one and five and another on the way And his poor little lovely she looked older every day Thinks of all the chances that he lost upon the way Opportunities have vanished like a needle in the hay Oh lord he is a desperate man They've used him, abused him and fooled him again Oh lord he is a desperate man Oh lord he's a desperate man The street's running empty and it's getting so late Your man stands in the shadows but how long can he wait? Cold consolation in a cheap bottle of wine And the future fades and withers as he slips further in decline Oh lord he is a desperate man They've used him, abused him and fooled him again Oh lord he is a desperate man Oh lord he's a desperate man
