Lyrics

Veins swell
You know me, Ellen, enough to tell
Five steps you’re over

Quick cut
Make your move deliberate
Five steps you’re over

No reprimand
Deliberate, demand
With your two feet at hand

Get back
This train’s a comin’ down the track
Five steps you’re over.

The show follows one/two participant(s), who are dependent or are addicted, documented in anticipation of an intervention by family and friends. During the intervention, each participant is given an ultimatum: go into rehabilitation immediately, or risk losing contact, income, or other privileges from the loved ones who instigated the intervention.

The hard-to-find instrumental from the opening of A&E’s series Intervention.
