Desperado Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Zach_Hehl 

Cover art for Desperado lyrics by Alice Cooper

It was written for Jim Morrison after his death.

This is correct.

Actually, that's crap. Alice just likes to tell that story. The song was written before Morrison died. Alice does attempt to sing the verses in the style of Jim, perhaps in tribute or not. In any case don't believe everything Alice says. He is well known for spinning myths. I personally know 2 of the guys that were in this band and they'll back me up 100%.
