Desiree's on her knees against that wagon When life calls for that last dance But she's too tired, she's been groovin' too hard Looking up toward the miles above, she whispers to eternity It'd been a good dance, been a good dance 'Til life cuts in Calling Desiree... we watch Calling Desiree... Calling Desiree... we watch Calling Desiree... Calling Desiree... we watch Calling Desiree... Calling, calling, calling Calling Desiree, calling Desiree She's watching them call...

[erikd16]

Desiree's wide awake and holding on to everything under the sun

Grabbing postcards from all the places she's been to but had to run

She's got a wagon full of keepsakes she pulls behind her steps

I guess she hasn't heard the adage, the biggest wagon is the emptiest

Calling Desiree... Calling Desiree...

Desiree's got a lot of pieces, but she don't know where they fall

She never sees the picture long enough to give it thought

And what she holds on to she can't let go with her hands...

[erikd16]

Ninety million miles an hour, Desiree prances through the universe

Things would have to be exploding before you can stop her

Hands in the middle of everything, she's moving as fast as she can

But why does she bother reaching if she's only gonna take a handful?

Calling Desiree... Calling Desiree...
