Desperation Part II

歌詞

Peter and Mary, drive cross-country Entering Desperation, Nevada Red lights flash and their destines changed As the patrol car pulls behind them Collie Etrangian, arm of the law Stops them and searches the back of their car There in the trunk, some drugs in a bag And they find themselves arrested Pulled them over, to the side of the road With a body that's bloated and bursting; too old "We'll get this sorted out in Desperation Tak! Hated is burning, under his skin And an evil power that eats from within He bleeds from his eyes as he drives them by The biggest mine in North America Technology working anew in the depths The soul of the mine now disturbed from its rest Answers will be found in Desperation There's a little dead girl, lying on the steps of the jail And Collie guns down Peter as he stares into her eyes The Carver family hears the shot from the cell And wonders why their daughter had to die Ralph and Ellie Carter, and their son, David, too Staring from within the cell like animals in a zoo Something brought them here to Desperation With them is Tom, the only one from the town His alcoholic's spirit is beaten and worn down And Mary joins this group in Desperation.
