Desperadoes Under the Eaves

Don't the sun look angry through the trees
Don't the trees look like crucified thieves
Don't you feel like desperados under the eaves
Heaven help the one who leaves
- Warren Zevon

I don't think there's ever been written a more beautiful chorus.

it's really horrible that he's only known for werewolves. "accidently like a martyr", "reconsider me", "poor poor pitiful me", "i'll sleep when i'm dead", "play it all night long", etc. he was incredible.
PLAY THAT DEAD MANS' SONG!
