Desperadoes Under the Eaves
Desperados' Last Stand: Reflections on Life's Turmoil
Lyrics
I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
Reflecting on being at the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
I was staring in my empty coffee cup
Contemplating with an empty coffee cup in front
I was thinking that the gypsy wasn't lyin'
Believing in the truthfulness of a gypsy's statement
All the salty margaritas in Los Angeles
Referencing the abundance of margaritas in Los Angeles
I'm gonna drink 'em up
Expressing intent to consume them
And if California slides into the ocean
Picturing a possible catastrophic event for California
Like the mystics and statistics say it will
Comparing it to predictions made by mystics and statistics
I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill
Speculating the motel's survival until the bill is settled
Don't the sun look angry through the trees
Noticing an angry appearance of the sun
Don't the trees look like crucified thieves
Seeing the trees resembling crucified thieves
Don't you feel like Desperados under the eaves
Feeling akin to desperate individuals seeking shelter
Heaven help the one who leaves
Expressing concern for those who depart
Still waking up in the mornings with shaking hands
Waking up with trembling hands due to emotional distress
And I'm trying to find a girl who understands me
Seeking understanding from a companion
But except in dreams you're never really free
Highlighting the limitations of true freedom, only found in dreams
Don't the sun look angry at me
Perceiving the sun's hostility towards the persona
I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
Revisiting the setting at the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
I was listening to the air conditioner hum
Listening to the humming of an air conditioner
It went mmmmmm
Imitating the sound "mmmm" of the air conditioner
Look away
Instruction to divert attention or look away
