Lyrics
One man's financial desperation puts his family in dire straights. It seems easy what he must do, but the price is high. Who will he lose?
"Desperation"
(Lyrics: M. Novak, C. Webster, Music - M. Novak)
He and his family in financial distress
Hoping to save his home address
His life in chaos through no fault of his own
Searching for answers but nothing is shown
Looking for work he enters the Time Shop
He alone sees all the clocks have stopped
The shop keeper asks “Have you run out of time?”
“I offer you an answer without reason or rhyme.”
CHORUS:
When desperation comes calling - you are not you
When desperation comes calling - it challenges your view
When desperation comes calling - what extremes would you do
When desperation comes calling - your nightmares come true
Consider the path success is not guaranteed
Whatever the outcome you still have agreed
His options are open which one will he choose
His desperation is real the journey he can’t refuse
The price is revealed - one less mouth to feed
He requests time in the future and told to proceed
Knowing the winning numbers is the easy way
Now he wonders who is it that will have to pay
CHORUS:
When desperation comes calling - you are not you
When desperation comes calling - it challenges your every view
When desperation comes calling - what extremes would you do
When desperation comes calling - your nightmares come true
