Another go, another try
To climb that awesome peak
Of foolish dreams and vain desires
That only make you weak
But maybe now, my chance
Will be within my reach
And life, for once, will have a sense
That God forgot to teach

The slope is steep, the rope is thin
And I am overweight
With stupid qualms and deadly sins
Too heavy, I’m afraid
And blank again will come my dice
No matter how I try
A freezing wind will wet my eyes
As if I were to cry

And silently I’ll walk away
Accepting my defeat
Preparing for another day
On Desperation Street
