Moes Haven: Lyrics/Clips/MP3s

Quiet Desperation

(Moes Haven)
I was working the night shift
I was singing songs after dark
I owned more clothes than the ones that were on my back

I was just a receptionist
I was playing with the band
I had the truckin' convoy moving at a good velocity

Whoa! Oh!

I wanna live a life of quiet desperation
And then die
Yes 'n' I wanna die

I was sleeping with one eye open
Staying awake with fright
I was hoping that Mr. Sandman would come to me in the night
But instead of dreams he only brang me nightmares
And I had to be buried at home

Whoa! Oh!

I wanna live a life of quiet desperation
And then die
Yes 'n' I wanna die

Quiet desperation is all I'm asking for
