The Only Ones - Programme lyrics

It's a different kind of life when you're on this programme You see things you never thought could be seen You get the other side of life when you're on this programme, baby Things get dirty when they look so clean I don't even recall the things that you accuse me of I feel so far away from everything I ever loved, I ever loved You know you've gotta sweat when you're on this programme, honey The lights are glaring, it's a cold heat We're all God's children and we got A constant struggle in the face of defeat I've been having bad dreams, I can't get to sleep at night I feel so far away, I'm walking on the edge of time, the edge of time Well look at him he's hurt now, he's bleeding The curious will come and see him They fantasise about his life They see humour in him Every time you drop your guard, you find it twice as hard To reconcile your feelings You can always justify, all the times you've almost died Say life ain't that appealing That's the last you'll get, trapped by life, you Prefer existence on the other side The local residents are all white And their morals are well-defined
