Lyrics:

I've seen the Joshua Tree
Got down on my knees
To the Virgin Mother I prayedI've walked glass barefooted
Strolled 'cross the devil's hot coal
I've tried everything, I swear

Oh but hey, what can I say?
I'm a desperate man
I said hey, what can I say?
I'm just a desperate man

(Poo poo poo-poo-poo-poo-poo)

Fortune teller told me
'No more last chances
'You got no future at all'
Oh but I ain't listenin'
You black-hearted gypsy
with a crucifix through her bedroom wall

Hey, what can I say?
I'm a desperate man
I said hey, what can I say?
I'm just a desperate man

(Poo poo poo-poo-poo-poo-poo)
(Poo poo poo-poo-poo-poo-poo)
(Poo poo poo-poo poo poo poo)
(Poo poo poo-poo-poo-poo-poo)
(Poo poo poo-poo-poo-poo-poo)
(Poo poo poo-poo poo poo poo)

Yeah I'm a half-cock, full-tilt, scarred-hands-to-the-hilt
Don't-push-me grown-ass man
Yeah flashin' light, caution, careful where ya cross her
'Til she comes back again

Yeah hey, what can I say?
I'm a desperate man
Oh hey, what can I say?
I'm just a desperate man

Oh hey, I said hey
Woah, what can I say? I'm a desperate man
Oh hey, I said hey
I'm just a desperate man
(Poo poo poo-poo-poo-poo-poo)
(Poo poo poo-poo-poo-poo-poo)
(Poo poo poo-poo poo poo poo)

Grown-ass man
(Poo poo poo-poo-poo-poo-poo)
(Poo poo poo-poo-poo-poo-poo)
(Poo poo poo-poo poo poo poo)
(Poo poo poo-poo-poo-poo-poo)
(Poo poo poo-poo-poo-poo-poo)
(Poo poo poo-poo poo poo poo)
