	Lyrics Feel the temperature risin' In a relentless rain Everyone's out to do What they can't do in vain And they're reachin' out for mercy As they go their own way They need a little bit of comfort In these Desperate Days There's a Wall Street guy Up there on the window ledge Screamin', throwing money Leaning over the edge You'd think the ones holding trump Would either call or raise But their just as likely to jump In these Desperate Days And through the Desperate Days and the Desperate Nights There's a reckless abandon 'neath these city lights From the bedroom quarrels to the mean street fights These are Desperate Days, Lord and Desperate Nights Desperate Days and Desperate Nights I saw an old lady faint Fell right out of her hat Nobody even noticed She just layed there like that 'Till the street sweepers came And they swept her away Ain't no one got a conscience In these Desperate Days See the fireworks flare And hear the marching band blow Say hooray for this country For the good life that we know While the street people huddle See their eyes all aglaze With the frozen emotion Of these Desperate Days And through the Desperate Days and the Desperate Nights There's a reckless abandon 'neath these city lights From the bedroom quarrels to the mean street fights These are Desperate Days, Lord and Desperate Nights Desperate Days and Desperate Nights All my debts are collected All my deeds are confessed If I look unaffected I'm just doin' my best To make sense of a world In a halcyon haze I'm just tryin' to move forward In these Desperate Days And though the banners still stand And the streamers still fly Man this ain't no parade here It's just people passin' by And this man still stumbles And this man still prays For a litte bit of comfort In these Desperate Days And through the Desperate Days and the Desperate Nights There's a reckless abandon 'neath these city lights From the bedroom quarrels to the mean street fights These are Desperate Days, Lord and Desperate Nights Desperate Days and Desperate Nights (c)1992 Dane Clark, Harmeson Hills Music ASCAP.
