I see you cryin' in the sunshine |
|
I hear you laughin' in the rain |
|
You say you can't tell any difference |
|
Between the pleasure and the pain |
|
You say you never ever dream at nighttime |
|
You say you only dream when you're awake |
|
And say that |
|
TV looks like your life |
|
And the life you lead is fake |
|
Desperate people |
|
Desperate people |
|
You get your sunshine from a tab of paper |
|
Then you're sittin' in a spinnin' room |
|
The clock is tockin', it's laughin' at you |
|
Your life's a mystery without a clue |
|
The crowd you're in thinks you're so amusin' |
|
They're oh so flatterin' and so sincere |
|
They stand and laugh as they watch you crumble |
|
And when you cry for help they don't hear |
|
No moreDesperate people |
|
Desperate people |
|
You feel the earth revolving, you see the sun dissolving |
|
You hear the night calling out to you |
|
You have no direction and you have no protection |
|
What you gonna do when your trip turns blue? |
|
When you come crashin' down and there's no help around |
|
You need friends, you need help |
|
First you have to help yourself |
|
The music stops and the party's over |
|
The money's gone and your crowd is too |
|
Can't break the chains that have kept you under |
|
Has the monkey got the best of you? |
|
Then I see you cryin' in the sunshine |
|
And I hear you laughin' in the rain |
|
You say you can't tell any difference |
|
Between the pleasure and the pain |
