Desperate Things

Desperate Things - The Killers (殺手樂團)

Lyrics by：Jonathan Rado/Brandon Flowers

Composed by：Jonathan Rado/Brandon Flowers

She was doing sixty in a thirty-five

I hit the lights and pulled her over

When I reached the window of the driver side

There was blood from her mouth dry on her shoulder

I've never had much patience for guys that hit

For more than just obvious reasons

I asked if she wanted me to take him in

She laughed it off like lemonade

When you're in love you can be blinded by your own heart

You'll bend your own truth so twisted up you could justify sin

And when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams

People do desperate things

I've been taking lunch breaks at her work

When the restaurant ain't too crowded

She knows me and my wife got a little girl

We don't talk too much about it

The other night she met me way out west

Things went further than they should have

But when she undid the buttons of her dress

I didn't stop her but I could have

When you're in love you can be blinded by your own heart

You'll bend your own truth so twisted up you could justify sin

And when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams

People do desperate things

I know where he drinks most every night

It's our local hero sports bar

I've got him cuffed and sweating cold

In the back of my patrol car

You forget how dark the canyon gets

It's a real uneasy feeling

I've never had much patience for guys who hit

For more than just obvious reasons

When you're in love you can be blinded by your own heart

You'll bend your own truth so twisted up you could justify sin

And when people in love are desperate enough to abandon their dreams

People do desperate things
