Desperada

 

Desperada,

Why do you ignore all your senses?

You've been up making fences, for so long now.

Oh you’re a smart one, but I know you've got your reasons.

Because these things that aren't pleasing.

Aren't hurting you now.

 

Don't, you draw the king of spades girl.

He'll beat you if he's able.

You know the king of hearts is always your best bet.

Now it seems to me some good friends,

Have been sat around your table.

But you only feel the ones who haven’t yet.

 

Desperada,

No you can't take it any longer.

You’re feeling a hunger,

You’re leaving your home.

Oh freedom, Oh freedom, that’s what people are talking

While others are blocking, you’re all alone.

 

Your heart can get cold in that wintertime.

The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine.

It's like trading the nighttime for the day.

You’re gaining all your views and woes.

Ain't, it funny that soon, the feeling goes, away.

 

Desperada,

Why don't you come to your senses?

Break down some old fences; it's not to late.

It may not be shining, but there are rainbows behind you.

So you should let that somebody love you.

Before they don't wait.

Let that somebody love you.

Before they don't wait.
