Tale of the Desperado Lyrics by Desmond Michael

Shine, Eternity

2024

(Verse:)
Let me paint a picture real straight, in this wasteland full of hate
There lived a young man who was born to be great
This young man was introduced to a whole new nation
Full of ammunition, and discrimination
Some days I wonder if you even love me, truth is I
Am not the greatest to know, a damn awful guy
But you ain’t perfect either, so we like Bonnie and Clyde
Got the pigs looking down the barrel, like boy reach for the sky
We hang and bang, then bang some morе
Got money stashed inside thе floor
Police and army at the door
Our reputation grows some more
We started off as their rivals, now we they idols
A matter of survival has now turned into a tidal
Wave to flood the ivory towers that look down
Let burn the town, you ask me just how, damn I don’t know
But one thing I know for sho’, we ain’t staying here no more
Cause no matter what we do, we’ll just be some desperados
Baby, I’m telling you right now you can do anything, so please
Never dim your light for all these crooks and thieves
We unchained but they still stop us no matter where we go
Cause no matter what we do, I guess we’ll just be desperados
(Hook:)
I guess I’m just a desperado (A desperado, desperado, desperado)
I guess I’m just a desperado (A desperado, desperado, desperado)
I guess I’m just a desperado (A desperado, desperado, desperado)
I guess I’m just a desperado (A desperado, desperado, desperado)
(Bridge:)
I’m at your door, and so be ready for war
See a desperado like me, you best hit the floor
I’m at your door, and so be ready for war
See a desperado like me, you best hit the floor
(Verse:)
My brain is on emergency
So I’m begging you be patient with me
I hope one day this is all over and done
We’ll find eternity, live in peace under the sun
We always gotta move forward, on a path of hope
Use a feather to write down a new story untold
The world is on fire but we’re not next to go
If we gotta fight forever, we’ll just be some desperados
(Hook:)
I guess I’m just a desperado (A desperado, desperado, desperado)
I guess I’m just a desperado (A desperado, desperado, desperado)
I guess I’m just a desperado (A desperado, desperado, desperado)
I guess I’m just a desperado (A desperado, desperado, desperado)
I guess I’m just a desperado (A desperado, desperado, desperado)
I guess I’m just a desperado (A desperado, desperado, desperado)
I guess I’m just a desperado (A desperado, desperado, desperado)
I guess I’m just a desperado (A desperado, desperado, desperado)
(Outro:)
You seem like you’re on a journey… to what? What are you in search of?
