Desperados Under the Eaves

[Verse 1]

I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel

I was staring in my empty coffee cup

I was thinking that the gypsy wasn't lyin'

All the salty margaritas in Los Angeles

I'm gonna drink 'em up

[Verse 2]

And if California slides into the ocean

Like the mystics and statistics say it will

I predict this motel will be standin' until I pay my bill

Hey

[Verse 3]

Don't the sun look angry through the trees?

Don't the trees look like crucified thieves?

Don't you feel like desperados under the eaves?

Heaven help the one who leaves

[Verse 4]

Still wakin' up in the mornings with shakin' hands

And I'm tryin' to find a girl who understands me

But except in dreams, you're never really free

Don't the sun look angry at me?

[Verse 5]

I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel

I was listening to the air conditioner hum

It went mm, mm, mm, mm

[Humming]

[Outro]

Look away (Look away) down Gower Avenue, look away

Look away (Look away) down Gower Avenue, look away

Look away (Look away) down Gower Avenue, look away

Look away (Look away) down Gower Avenue, look away

Look away (Look away) down Gower Avenue, look away

Look away (Look away) down Gower Avenue, look away
