Warren Zevon — Desperados Under the Eaves Take 2 - 1/13/76

[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 excеpt in dreams, you're nevеr 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] And it went mm, mm, mm, mm [Humming] Alright [Humming] [Instrumental Outro]
