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 

chorus 

so what will you say 
when you've had your day 
and it all fades away 

chorus 

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
