Warren Zevon - Desperados Under the Eaves lyrics

I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
I was staring in my empty coffee cup
I was thinking that the gypsy wasn't lyin'
All the salty margaritas in Los Angeles
I'm gonna drink 'em up

And if California slides into the ocean
Like the mystics and statistics say it will
I predict this motel will be standin'
Until I pay my bill hey

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

Still wakin' up in the
Mornings with shakin' hands
And I'm tryin' to find a
Girl who understands me
But except in dreams
You're never really free
Don't the sun look angry at me?

I was sitting in the Hollywood Hawaiian Hotel
I was listening to the air conditioner hum
It went mm, mm, mm, mm

Look away
(Look away) down Gower Avenue, look away
Look away
(Look away) down Gower Avenue, look away
Look away
(Look away) down Gower Avenue, look away
Look away
(Look away) down Gower Avenue, look away
Look away
(Look away) down Gower Avenue, look away
Look away
(Look away) down Gower Avenue, look away
