Always the same - I postpone things to the very end 

No one's to blame - except for myself 

I've had three weeks to write this song - I put it off - Too tired! 

Tomorrow It's due now I must compose - I'm really wired - Too bad! 

Absence of mind - my brain's still void of inspired thoughts 

Falling behind - the hours pass on my digital clock 



Desperation, Desperation 

I don't know what to write - 

Falling prey to Desperation 

Plaglarism sure sound nice - 

I'm forced into Desperation 



Back's to the wall - the pressure's up and I start to sweat 

But that's not all - The group's Impatient and they start to bitch 

I waited till the last minute - I've got no time - Your fault! 

Can't even seem to think clearly - I've lost my mind - So what? 

I paid the price - a meltdown and a sleepless night 

But that's okay - I drew a blank so I wrote this song 



Always the same - I postpone things to the very end 

No one's to blame - except for myself 

I've had three weeks to write this song - I put it off - Too tired! 

Tomorrow It's due now I must compose - I'm really wired - Too bad! 

Absence of mind - mu brain's still void of inspired thoughts 

Falling behind - the hours pass on my digital clock 



...Into Desperation 

...Desperation

Rain-drops fall and you feel low 

Do you ever feel it's useless 

Do you feel like letting go 

Well do you ever stop and do you wonder 

Will the world ever change 

Yes, well just how long 

Will it take to have it all re-arranged 



Tell me why these things are still the same 

Tell me why no one can seem to learn from mistakes 



Take my hand if you don't know where you're goin' 

I'll understand--I've lost the way myself 

Oh, won't you, oh don't take that old road, it leads to nowhere 

We must return before the clock strikes twelve 



Oh, it's so easy to do nothin' when you're busy night and day 

Take a step in one direction, ooh yeah 

Take a step the other way 

So, don't quit tryin' when you stumble 

Don't give up should you fall 

Oh, won't you keep on searchin' for the pathway 

That leads you through the wall 



Don't look back or you'll be left behind 

Don't look back or you will never find peace of mind 



Take my hand if you don't know where you're goin' 

I'll understand, you know I've, I've lost the way myself 

Now listen here, I don't want to, I don't want to take that old road it leads to nowhere 

We must return before the clock strikes twelve

Been on the road for fourteen days, 

Got six more left to go. 

The rain is pounding down on my hood, 

I got a heavy load in tow. 

You been so cruel to your lover boy, 

Had to get up, get away. 

Don't need your lovin', don't want no babies, 

I've had my thrills for the day. 

Desperation roll me, 

I'm rollin' over to you. 

Desperation roll me, 

I'm gettin' closer to you. 

Been on the road for fourteen days, 

And I ain't got a shirt to show. 

The heat is pounding down on my back, 

What a heavy load I tow. 

Desperation roll me, 

I'm rollin' over to you. 

Desperation roll me, 

I'm gettin' closer to you. 

Desperation roll me, 

I'm rollin' over to you. 

Desperation roll me, 

I'm gettin' closer to you. 

Hey, hey, hey, all rïght.
