desperado, why don't you come to your senses?
you've been out ridin' fences for so long, now
oh, you're a hard one, but I know you've got your reasons
but these things that are pleasin' you will hurt you somehow
don't you draw the queen of diamonds, boy
she'll beat you if she's able
you know the queen of hearts is always your best bet
now it seems to me some fine things
have been laid upon your table
but you only want the ones you can't get. . .
desperado, no you ain't getting no younger
your pain and your hunger, they're driving you home
and freedom, oh freedom, that's just some people talkin'
your prison is walking on this world all alone
don't your feet get cold in the wintertime
the sky won't snow and the sun won't shine
it's hard to tell the nighttime 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
before it's too late

Act V. THE TRUTH. (Love is hard work. And, sometimes, hard work can really hurt.) Love is a game. If they didn't tell you before, we will tell you now. Love is a game and if you play you either win, lose, or get ejected before the game is over. There are no ties. Maybe you'll lose and learn some great, meaningful answer from it all (like if it looks to good to be true, it is). It's easy to love something when you don't have to work at it. It's harder when it asks something of you. You just might be afraid to give. Give it anyway. The heart is the most resilient muscle. It is also the stupidest. So if this love you've found is good to you, hold it, keep it, shout about it. If it isn't, then maybe you should just become very good friends.
