Desperados Under The Eaves Lyrics

Desperados Under The Eaves

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

 

 And if California slides into the ocean 

 Like the mystics and statistics say it will

 I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill

 

 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

 

 Still waking up in the mornings with shaking hands 

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

 But except in dreams you're never really free 

 Don't the sun look angry at me

 

 I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel

 I was listening to the air conditioner hum 

 It went mmmmmm..

 ........................... Look

 away.......................................... 

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