Desperado, why can't I come to my senses?
I've been in this band all alone for so long now,
Oh, I'm a hard one, I know that I need some bandmates,
But nobody wants to join me, I'll hurt you somehow.

Don't you mock the king of eagles, boy, I'll beat you cause I'm able.
You know the king of eagles is always the best, yes.
Now it seems to me some fine musicians have been laid upon my table,
But I only want the ones I can't get.
Desperado, oh, I ain't gettin' no younger,
My pain and my hunger, they're drivin' me home,
And freedom, oh freedom, well, that's just some moth talkin'
My prison is playin' through this band all alone.

Don't my wings get cold in the wintertime?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine,
It's hard to tell the nighttime from the day.
I'm losin' all my voice and strength,
Ain't it funny how my audience goes away?

Desperado, why can't I come to my senses?
Come down from my stage and give up my band
It may be rainin', but there's a rainbow above me.
I better let some eagles join me,
Let some eagles join me.
I better let some eagles join me,
before it's too late.
