Desperation Street
Words & Music by Jeff Lehman

Throw me a line if my ships starts to stray
Show me the fine, if I refuse to pay
Restate my case If I'm put on the stand
Cover my base when I'm in foreign land

Cover my eyes from too much market share
Send me the prize if I win the game fair
Open my mind if the doors are all closed
Burn down my shrine if the sickness grows

And take me down to desperation street
Show me what it's like if I keep this pace
Take me down the way
Take me down the way
to desperation street

on desperation street no one gets their fair share
It's a side-street that leads to nowhere, it's a stab in the dark
It's a false starting lift, it's a carrot on the stick
at the edge of a cliff

(chorus)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
