DESPERATION

IN THIS ROOM YOU DON’T NEED A VIEW
JUST YOUR SCREEN AND YOUR FOUR WALLS
BURN SO BRIGHT IN DEAD OF NIGHT
PAGE AFTER PAGE YOU’RE LOSING SIGHT

DESPERATION OH I’M ACHING
I’M ACHING FOR YOU
DESPERATION CAN’T TELL IF YOU’RE FAKING
CAN YOU FAKE IT FOR TWO

THIS HUNGER NEEDS AND THEN IT FEEDS
ON FACES PLACES ‘ROUND THE WORLD
ONE BRUNETTE YOU CAN’T FORGET
SO COLD BUT NEVER GROWING OLD

DESPERATION OH I’M ACHING
I’M ACHING FOR YOU
DESPERATION CAN’T TELL IF YOU’RE FAKING
CAN YOU FAKE IT FOR TWO

DESPERATION
THAT CANNOT BE DENIED
NO WAY OUT I’M SO DEVOUT
I PRAY EACH DAY AND EVERY NIGHT

READERS WIVES AND THEIR PAY PHONE LIES
LATE NIGHT VIEWERS GET A GRIP
TALK IS CHEAP AND YOURS TO KEEP
YOU CAN RING US ANYTIME
DESPERATION OH I’M ACHING
I’M ACHING FOR YOU
DESPERATION CAN’T TELL IF YOU’RE FAKING
CAN YOU FAKE IT FOR TWO
