Warren Zevon — Desperados Under the Eaves Live Wmmr-Fm

[Intro] I'd like to sing a little song here about my life I'm really enjoying it and plan to continue with it [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 Ha [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 onе who leaves [Verse 4] Still wakin' up in the mornings with shakin' hands And I'm tryin' to find a girl who undеrstands 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 And it went [Humming] [Interlude] And it went [Humming] [Outro] Thank you, thank you Goodnight, nurse Ladies and gentleman, Asylum recording artist, Warren Zevon
