Desperate Ones Lyrics

They hold each others hands They walk without a sound Down forgotten streets Their shadows kiss the ground
Their footsteps sing a song That's ended before it's begun They walk without a sound The desperate ones
Just like the tiptoe moth That dance before the flame They burn their hearts so much That death is just a name and if love calls again
So foolishly they run, they run, they run They run, they run, they run, they run They run without a sound The desperate ones
I know the road they're on I've walked their crooked mile A hundred times or more I drank their cup of bile
They watch their dreams go down Behind the settin' sun Yeh, yeh, yeh, they walk without a sound The desperate ones
Le he who threw the stone at them Stand up and take a bow He knows the verb, to love But he'll never, never, never know how
On the bridge of nevermore They disappear one by one Disappear without a sound The desperate ones
And underneath the bridge The water's sweet and deep This is their journey's end The land of endless sleep They cry to us for help
We think it's all in fun They cry, they cry, they cry, they cry Without a sound They disappear without a sound
They walk without a sound, without a sound Disappear without a sound Cry without a sound Yai, yaj, yaj, yaj, yaj, yaj, yaj The desperate ones
