"Most People Sleep Alone" lyrics

We'll always be together
Our love will last for ever
Meaning every word
Now it seems absurd

Those human complications
Destroyed our love relations
One in three, it's said
And that's just those who've wed

I read the Sunday papers, the heat
The love, the lust
They say we're always at it... alas not us

Most, most people sleep alone
No matter what the papers say
Loneliness is here to stay
(And the baby cries)

Some say we're too permissive
The orgy, guess we missed it
(It happened somewhere else
We were on the shelf)

Victorian adherence
They stick it for appearance
(Duty not love
Instead, a graveyard of their bed)

They say we live for pleasure
It's kinda hard to tell
If this is self-indulgence it hurts like hell

Most, most people sleep alone
No matter what the papers say
Loneliness is here to stay

Sad is easy
But we've been shattered
Separate sorrows in separate rooms
Understanding? To the marrow
Understood the love we lost
Now we're fading into shadow

The world is full of strangers
We live heartbreak hotel
If this is self-indulgence it hurts like hell

Most, most people sleep alone
No matter what the papers say
Loneliness is here to stay
