I hate to say, but we've looked on better days
It took me by surprise
We left our quiet home behind

The castaways drag the lake
The desperation burns

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
