I've seen the Joshua Tree Got down on my knees Threw the Virgin Mother a prayer I've walked glass barefooted Strolled 'cross the devil's hot coal I've tried everything, I swear
Oh but hey (hey) , what can I say? I'm a desperate man I said hey (hey) , what can I say? I'm just a desperate man
I'm a half-cock, full-tilt scarred-hands-to-the-hilt, don't-push-me grown-ass man Yeah flashin' light, caution careful where ya cross son, 'til she comes back again
But now hey (hey) , what can I say? I'm a desperate man Oh hey (hey) , what can I say? I'm just a desperate man
Oh hey (hey) , I said hey (hey) Woah what can I say, I'm a desperate man Oh hey (hey) , I said hey (hey) I'm just a desperate man
