Desperate People (2023 Remaster)

I see you crying in the sunshine I hear you laughing in the rain You say you can't tell any difference Between the pleasure and the pain You say you never ever dream at night time You say you only dream when you're awake And say that T.V. 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 sitting in a spinning room The clock is tocking and it's laughing at you Your life's a mystery without a clue The crowd you're in thinks you're so amusing They're oh so flattering and so sincere They stand and laugh as they watch you crumble And when you cry for help they don't hear Desperate 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 crashing down and there's no help around You need friends, you need help But 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? I see you crying in the sunshine I hear you laughing in the rain You say you can't tell any difference Between the pleasure and the pain Desperate People.
