Desperate People Lyrics - Vivid - Living Colour

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
