I have a wall that I’m laying on
Haven’t decided what I’m waiting on
I gave all my love to you in anticipation
Now I live the blues of desperation

Sliding down in a great free fall
Minding my manners waiting for your call
Heartless in mind, a soul of separation
Now it’s the blues, the blues of desperation

Maybe it’s the devil doing this to me
Open up the door to divine misery
Hear the wolves howling at my door
One more last time don’t come back no more

The heavens may fall and the rain may come
You fight and you die but what’s done is done
Smile at me, while I live in damnation
Trying to make sense of these blues of desperation
