This song is a work in progress. After some key changes and lots of rework I'm working on vocals, which should be up next.

DESPERATE TIMES, DESPERATE PLEASURES

If I let you know me, will you let me taste
Your lips and your love, grab you round the waist
Baby I don't care about old sin, with summer on your skin
Is this a movie that we're starring in?

We ride in the dark like we never came of age
Wearing white you kiss me hard like the angel that kissed James Dean
Baby let me join your soul with God, sex and rock n' roll
My heart is weak and your hands are so damn cold

Your pleasures are all mine
Your pleasures mine
All my love in these desperate times

Your pleasures are all mine
Your pleasures mine
All my love in these desperate times

She's gotta pay the rent so she pretend like she's Norma Jean
Did you have to be the one to see me naked with clothes on?
I bite your tongue to stop your lies, and you lie in my arms one more night
Heartbeat in your chest is my fucking lullaby

Your pleasures are all mine
Your pleasures mine
All my love in these desperate times

Your pleasures are all mine
Your pleasures mine
All my love in these desperate times

Desperate Times Desperate Pleasures — V2

This is song is based on a pickup line I wrote and used once.

Me: "Hey, can I ask you if it hurt?"

Her: "What, when I fell from heaven?"

Me: "No no, I was asking if it hurt when you fell for me?

Like An Angel — Coffee Shop

If I let you know me will you let me taste
Your lips and your love, grab you 'round the waist
Baby, I don't care about old sin with summer on your skin
Is this a movie that we're starring in?

We ride in the dark like we never came of age
Wearin' white you kiss me hard like the angel that kissed James Dean
Baby let me join your soul with God, sex and rock n' roll
But my heart is weak and your hands are so damn cold

Your pleasures are all mine, your pleasures mine
All my love in these desperate times
Your pleasures are all mine, your pleasures mine
All my love in these desperate times

You've gotta pay the rent so you'll pretend like you're Norma Jean
Did you have to be the one to see me naked with clothes on
I bite your tongue to stop your lies, and you'll lie in my arms one more night
Heartbeat in your chest is my fucking lullaby

Your pleasures are all mine, your pleasures mine
All my love in these desperate times
Your pleasures are all mine, your pleasures mine
All my love in these desperate times

Through the wind and storm and sea, I will keep you here with me
Baby I can see all your light
Gotta have you all my way each and every day
You will always be mine
Your pleasures are all mine, your pleasures mine
All my love in these desperate times
Your pleasures are all mine, your pleasures mine
All my love in these desperate times

Desperate Times, Desperate Pleasures — V1

SEIZE THE DAME

You look something like an angel might know that's what I think  
I'll just ask you if "it hurt when you fell for me"
Gotta tell you that my reputation isn't nice  
'Cause I gotta stand up and fight for what's right sometimes

There's fire in your smile and it might be my demise  
If I kiss on the mouth you melt my disguise

I'll be the man you need
There's mischief in your eyes  
I'll seize the dame, babe
With loaded guns and loaded hearts

Honey when the going gets tough  
The tough get outta my way 
I'll seize the dame, babe
Just keep a hangin' on to me

Keep me up all night I'll be the perfect alibi  
Don't make me jealous darling, make me your crime  
But honestly, if you think you're gonna leave  
Well under my dead body

I'll be the man you need
There's trouble in your eyes
I'll seize the dame, babe
With loaded guns and loaded hearts

Honey when the going gets tough  
The tough get outta my way  
And sugar when the rolling gets rough  
You'll be e-everything I need

I'll be your man, babe
There's trouble in your eyes
I'll seize the dame, babe
With loaded guns and loaded hearts

Honey when the going gets tough  
You'll be right there next to me
And sugar when the rolling gets rough  
Just keep a-hangin' on to me
