<br>
They hold each other's hand<br>
They walk without a sound<br>
Down forgotten streets<br>
Their shadows kiss the ground<br>
Their footsteps sing a song<br>
That's ended before it's begun<br>
They walk without a sound<br>
The desperate ones<br>
Just like the tiptoe moth<br>
They dance before the flame<br>
They've burned their hearts so much<br>
That death is just a game<br>
And if love calls again<br>
So foolishly they run<br>
They run without a sound<br>
The desperate ones<br>
I know the road they're on<br>
I've walked their crooked mile<br>
A hundred times or more<br>
I drank their cup of bile<br>
They watch their dreams go down<br>
Behind the setting sun<br>
They walk without a sound<br>
The desperate ones<br>
And underneath the bridge<br>
The waters sweet and deep<br>
There is the journey's end<br>
The land of endless sleep<br>
They cry to us for help<br>
We think it's all in fun<br>
They cry without a sound<br>
The desperate ones<br>
Let he who threw the stone at them<br>
Stand up and take a bow<br>
He knows the verb to love<br>
But he'll never know how<br>
On the bridge of nevermore<br>
They disappear one by one<br>
Disappear without a sound<br>
The desperate ones<br>
 <br>
