Riot - Desperation lyrics
Always the same - I postpone things to the very end
No one's to blame - except for myself
I've had three weeks to write this song - I put it off - Too tired!
Tomorrow It's due now I must compose - I'm really wired - Too bad!
Absence of mind - my brain's still void of inspired thoughts
Falling behind - the hours pass on my digital clock
Desperation, Desperation
I don't know what to write -
Falling prey to Desperation
Plaglarism sure sound nice -
I'm forced into Desperation
Back's to the wall - the pressure's up and I start to sweat
But that's not all - The group's Impatient and they start to bitch
I waited till the last minute - I've got no time - Your fault!
Can't even seem to think clearly - I've lost my mind - So what?
I paid the price - a meltdown and a sleepless night
But that's okay - I drew a blank so I wrote this song
Always the same - I postpone things to the very end
No one's to blame - except for myself
I've had three weeks to write this song - I put it off - Too tired!
Tomorrow It's due now I must compose - I'm really wired - Too bad!
Absence of mind - mu brain's still void of inspired thoughts
Falling behind - the hours pass on my digital clock
...Into Desperation
...Desperation
Rain-drops fall and you feel low
Do you ever feel it's useless
Do you feel like letting go
Well do you ever stop and do you wonder
Will the world ever change
Yes, well just how long
Will it take to have it all re-arranged
Tell me why these things are still the same
Tell me why no one can seem to learn from mistakes
Take my hand if you don't know where you're goin'
I'll understand--I've lost the way myself
Oh, won't you, oh don't take that old road, it leads to nowhere
We must return before the clock strikes twelve
Oh, it's so easy to do nothin' when you're busy night and day
Take a step in one direction, ooh yeah
Take a step the other way
So, don't quit tryin' when you stumble
Don't give up should you fall
Oh, won't you keep on searchin' for the pathway
That leads you through the wall
Don't look back or you'll be left behind
Don't look back or you will never find peace of mind
Take my hand if you don't know where you're goin'
I'll understand, you know I've, I've lost the way myself
Now listen here, I don't want to, I don't want to take that old road it leads to nowhere
We must return before the clock strikes twelve
Been on the road for fourteen days,
Got six more left to go.
The rain is pounding down on my hood,
I got a heavy load in tow.
You been so cruel to your lover boy,
Had to get up, get away.
Don't need your lovin', don't want no babies,
I've had my thrills for the day.
Desperation roll me,
I'm rollin' over to you.
Desperation roll me,
I'm gettin' closer to you.
Been on the road for fourteen days,
And I ain't got a shirt to show.
The heat is pounding down on my back,
What a heavy load I tow.
Desperation roll me,
I'm rollin' over to you.
Desperation roll me,
I'm gettin' closer to you.
Desperation roll me,
I'm rollin' over to you.
Desperation roll me,
I'm gettin' closer to you.
Hey, hey, hey, all rïght.
