Happiest Pretenders

He licks the paper, turns the page, Writes the spoken word again, Releases pools of untrapped blood, To camouflage what's understood, Wrapped up in a golden throne, He undresses overloads, Walks quietly to a distant place, Honest lies in washed out grace.

Oh, indicate we're locked in,
Oh, with the kings and queens We are the happiest pretenders, We are the happiest pretenders.

Dresses down towards the Tyne, He chases evening's wonder whys, Then misses hours, time again Sweeps him underneath its wings

Oh, indicate we're locked in,
Oh, with the kings and queens We are the happiest pretenders, We are the happiest pretenders

If they try to catch us out we'll chase them down, We'll chase them down, Cause we are the happiest pretenders. He wipes the crystal from his eyes, He hits the lights and leaves them dry, Undoes tomorrows unknown will, Lets it slide, Tastes the thrill (x2)

We are the happiest pretenders,
We are the happiest pretenders If they try to catch us out we'll chase them down, We'll chase them down, Cause we are the happiest pretenders.

He wipes the crystal from his eyes, He hits the lights and leaves them dry, Undoes tomorrows unknown will, Lets it slide, Tastes the thrill
