Desperados Under the Eaves (Take 2 - 1/13/76)

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 upAnd 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 billDon't the sun look angry through the trees

Don't the trees look like crucified thieves

Don't you feel like desperadoes under the eaves

Heaven help the one who leavesStill 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 freeDon'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 mmm, mmm, mmmLook away down Gower Avenue, look away

Look away down Gower Avenue, look away

Look away down Gower Avenue, look away
