♪ Raise the alarm Un-close your eyes Desperation ♪ You never sang so sweetly 'til you whispered in my ear I never heard a sound, but I could hear The hatchet-man dusting off his sleeve Spilt my blood and drank my dreams And stopped the spinning wheels Wash away the bitter taste The desperation burns ♪ Raise the alarm Un-close your eyes Desperation ♪ The last one flew Just out of sight If it throws you away Just sit back and enjoy the ride ♪ Raise the alarm Un-close your eyes Desperation burns
