Desperate Eyes - Jay Gruska

Quarter to nine

She’s winding through the canyon

Voice on the radio

Her sole companion

Every day she asks herself

Why he left

But she’s gonna spend the night

Trying to forget

She has desperate eyes

Desperate eyes

In her red party dress

She is looking her best

But her makeup can’t hide

Can’t hide those desperate eyes

Desperate eyes

Seems like all of her life

She’s been caught in this vise

Desperate eyes

Lost in the crowd

She tries on many faces

Going from eager looks

To distant gazes

Once she had someone

Who kept her from harm

It’s all she’s looking for

In a stranger’s arms

Desperate eyes

Desperate eyes

In her red party dress

She is looking her best

But her makeup can’t hide

Can’t hide those desperate eyes

Whoa, desperate eyes

Seems like all of her life

She’s been caught in this vise

Desperate eyes

Desperate eyes

Desperate eyes

In the red party dress

She is looking her best

But her makeup can’t hide

She can’t hide those desperate eyes

Oh, desperate eyes

Seems like all of her life

She’s been caught in this vise

Desperate eyes

Desperate eyes

She has desperate eyes

Ooh, desperate eyes

Desperate eyes

Desperate eyes
