Desperado
Why don't you come to your senses
You've been out riding fences for so long now
Oh, you're a hard one
But I know that you've got your reasons
These things that are pleasing you
Can hurt you somehow
Don't you draw the Queen of diamonds boy
She'll beat you if she's able
The Queen of hearts is always your best bet
How it seems to me some fine things have been laid upon your table
But you only want the ones you can't get
Desperado
Oh, you ain't getting no younger
Your pain and your hunger
They're driving you home
Freedom, ah, freedom
That's just some people talking
Your prison is walking thru this world all alone
Don't your feet get cold in the winter time
The sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
It's hard to tell the night time from the day
You're losing all your highs and lows
Ain't it funny how the feeling goes away
Desperado
Why don't you come to your senses
Come down from your fences open the gate
It may be raining
But there's a rainbow above you
You better let somebody love you
You better let somebody love you
Before it's too late
《亡命之徒》
Eagles的歌詞中，最喜歡的應是這首。
“Freedom, ah, freedom
That's just some people talking
Your prison is walking thru this world all alone”
自由，對一般人來說是再普通不過的說法，然而對Desperado來說，孤行天涯便是他此生最巨大的牢籠。最無羈絆的生活方式，跟heart有關；浪跡天涯的人們當中，真正心中無一物的人，少之又少。
自由是什麼？牢籠是什麼？
Dickinson一生過著足不出戶的日子，卻有1789首透視宇宙的詩。
Desperado，在這首詩中足以照見：
One need not be a chamber to be haunted,
One need not be a house;
The brain has corridors surpassing
Material place.
Far safer, of a midnight meeting
External ghost,
Than an interior confronting
That whiter host.
Far safer through an Abbey gallop,
The stones achase,
Than, moonless, one's own self encounter
In lonesome place.
Ourself, behind ourself concealed,
Should startle most;
Assassin, hid in our apartment,
Be horror's least.
The prudent carries a revolver,
He bolts the door,
O'erlooking a superior spectre
More near.
然後呢，我希望我的朋友們都能抵禦the ghost in your heart，不管是在睡夢中抑或一覺醒來。
Never be a desperado！
