You called my name, you knew my number You told me everything was gonna be fine You touched my hand, and took me away from this place And I keep on thinking I'm going out of my mind Someone out there calling me I don't know what I can't see I dread to think what might be there I'm shaking now with so much fear I know, I feel I'm living in desperate times I looked to the ground, I couldn't believe my eyes The town I'm from was never that tough The life I've known is falling away from me And all of my strength may not be enough Solo I held the world in the palm of my hand And I threw it away like a petulant child Now all is gone that I held true Am I bound to lose you too? The choking smoke obscures the sun I see so clear what I've become I know, I feel We're living in desperate times Someone out there calling me I don't know what I can't see I dread to think what might be there I'm shaking now with so much fear I know, I feel I'm living in desperate times I know, I feel I'm living in desperate times
