Tequila Sunrise, Desperado and Others by the Eagles

Shadow (Spike) is always desperate for sleep.





I've always loved the music of the Eagles. If I just want to relax and forget all the cares in the world, I pop in an Eagles, take a can of beer and close my eyes. Of course, it would be hard not to sway the body, and sometimes can't help but dance.


Take It easy, Witchy Woman, Lyin Eyes, Tequila Sunrise, One of these Nights, Take it to the Limit, Peaceful, Easy Feeling. Hmmm.

DESPERADO
Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
You been out ridin fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
I know that you got your reasons
These things that are pleasin you
Can hurt you somehow

Don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
She'll beat you if she's able
You know the queen of hearts is always your best bet

Now it seems to me, some fine things
Have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones that you can't get

Desperado, oh, you ain't gettin no younger
Your pain and your hunger, they're drivin you home
And freedom, oh freedom well, that's just some people talkin
Your prison is walking through this world all alone

Don't your feet get cold in the winter time?
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're loosin all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away?

Desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
Come down from your fences, open the gate
It may be rainin, but there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you, before its too late
