Quiet Desperation - Micky Dolenz

Quiet Desperation Lyrics

Had a friend - a good ol' boy, taught me all I need to know 'bout livin' life on this spinnin' wheel.
His advice was simple stuff - devil's here to make it tough. Lord's around to see you pay your bill.Had a girl - she promised me we'd love each other faithfully - took eternal vows as lovers do. Then one day she changed her mind - left me on a line to dry, tellin' me what I already knew.Chorus:
Most men lead lives of quiet desperation. Try to make ends meet and keep the love alive. Fight against all odds until the final curtain - go away and find some place to cry.Had a friend we had a deal - we couldn't lose was its appeal. Gave him all I had to see it fly! Then one day I got a call, seems as though we'd lost it all. He was sorry - I just had to smile.Chorus:
Most men lead lives of quiet desperation. Try to make ends meet and keep the love alive. Fight against all odds until the final curtain - go away and find some place to cry.I wonder why I keep tryin' - must be somethin' in my genes. Any minute now I'll see the light - realize what it means.Chorus:
Most men lead lives of quiet desperation. Try to make ends meet and keep the love alive. Fight against all odds until the final curtain - go away and find some place to cry.Go away and find some place to cry.
Go away and find some place to cry.
Go away and find some place to die...
