On a television screen Like a technicolour dream I watch the crowd surround you And you act so nonchalant As you pass the debutantes Who know you as they found you So what is it like on the inside? You live the high life... You walk in the room with your attitude You've got an awful lot to prove At the end of the day When you walk away Are you on the darker side of blue? You used to be Someone just like me Do you wonder what you're missing? And when the paparazzi stare At your face and clothes and hair Do you wonder what they're whispering? So what is it like on the inside? You live the high life... Repeat
So what will you say When you've had your day And it all fades away? Repeat lf you read the signs, maybe you'll find You will accept my point of view Now how do you feel Now that you've seen it? Are you on the darker side of blue?

I'm a difficult manI admit I'm not easyAt the drop of a tearI can turn right awayAnd all the heartaches I've seenOne after anotherCan make a man mean enoughTo feel afraid*And nobody cares, no one really knows me And nobody shares the other side of me But you love like nobody loves meI was there all the timeEven I couldn't find meSo how did you see, what made you believe?(*repeat)You delivered my heartOne beat at a time after time after time ...(*repeat)So how did you see, what made you believe?

Are you lost in love or crazy? Are you strong enough, Strong enough to love me?And if you could, you'd walk through fireOn tightrope wire now, wouldn't you?You'd fly up across the skyJust to prove your point now, wouldn't you?* RepeatYou'd take me in hand, higher and higher, overland But I'd slip through the cracks, and higher and higher Take you backAnd if you could, you'd tie me upAnd make me yours now, wouldn't you?You'd tie me upBut are you strong enough to love me?Are you lost in love or crazy?Are you strong enough to love me?

Dad says it's striking How I look like you And how we share the same eyes Yes he swears I'm just a smaller form of you But brittle bones and a wisp of white hair Are all I see in that old rocking chair Tell me how long have you been around And how long til you're underground Tell me how can a son be a father A mother a daughter And I be a man someday Well I wonder Yes I do I really wonder
Could I belong to someone so old who Can only speak in whispers And who cannot hear a single word I say You're a man with a quivering hand How we're connected I just can't understand Tell me how long have you been around And how long til you're underground Tell me how can a son be a father A mother a daughter And I be a man someday Well I wonder Yes I do I really wonder
But when I think of how you smile And the way you look at me It isn't hard to recognize That you belong to me that you're a part of me
Tell me how can a son be a father A mother a daughter And I be a man someday Well I wonder Yes I do I really wonder
Another grand surprise Your rapier wit cut me down to size You love to pass your time Looking for ways to play the thorn in my side It's dejavu one more time Whoever said to take it on the chin Whoever said that good guys always win Has never seen the sorry state I'm in A victim of romanticide again
My little atom bomb This is the last time you'll do me wrong So listen when I speak I can't go on forever turning my cheek Your whipping boy's about to speak Whoever said to take it on the chin Whoever said that good guys always win Has never seen the sorry state I'm in A victim of romanticide again
I've paid my bills and cleaned out my closet, Slammed the front door tight I can't believe that I ever thought This all would work out right
Whoever said to take it on the chin Whoever said that good guys always win Has never seen the sorry state I'm in A victim of romanticide again Whoever said to get down on your knees Give your ground, or try your best to please Has never seen my lonely misery A victim of romanticide, that's me
Your aspirations glew like flies You took the planet by surprise You truly believed But of course you'd been deceived
It's an age of alienation Of a downbeat generation So much for liberation It looks like rain to me
In a drug infected haze You attacked the bourgeois ways And felt so relieved But consider what you leave
It's an age of alienation Of a downbeat generation So much for liberation It looks like rain to me
I loved but knew not who Belonged, but not to you I'm a man of modern hue
Like an Indian summer sky I can kiss this dream goodbye So long to the blue There's a shadow over you
It's an age of alienation Of a downbeat generation So much for liberation It looks like rain to me It's an age of your creation Of a disunited nation So much for your invasion It looks like rain to me
Every time that I look in your eyes I know love never dies Oh, baby... Love is blind, and I can't see Cupid's aimed his bow right at me I love you and adore you, you're all that life could bring Baby, you're my everything Cynics sneer at fairy tales They mock love and all its details But we've got something magical those fools will never see Baby, you're my everything I can only stand for a moment or two Being without you Oh, I know it sounds extreme But baby you're my dream come true
Yes, we've got something magical those fools have never seen Baby, you're my everything
She's blood, flesh and bone No tucks or silicone She's touch, smell, sight, taste, and sound But somehow I can't believe That anything should happen I know where I belong And nothing's going to happen, yeah
'Cause she's so high High above me She's so lovely She's so high Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite Da-da-da-da-da She's so high High above me
First class and fancy free She's high society She's got the best of everything What could a guy like me Ever really offer She's perfect as she can be Why should I even bother
'Cause she's so high High above me She's so lovely She's so high Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite Da-da-da-da-da She's so high High above me
She calls to speak to me I freeze immediately 'Cause what she says sounds so unreal 'Cause somehow I can't believe That anything should happen I know where I belong And nothing's going to happen, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
'Cause she's so high High above me She's so lovely She's so high Like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc, or Aphrodite Oh, yeah She's so high High above me
