He licks the paper turns the pageHe writes the spoken word againReleases pools of untrapped bloodTo camouflage what's understoodWrapped up in a golden throneHe undresses overloadsWalks quietly to a distant placeHonest lies in washed out grace

Oh oh oh indicate we're locked inOh oh oh with the kings and queens

We are the happiest pretendersWe are the happiest pretenders.

Dressed down towards the tyneHe chases evening's wonder whysThen misses hours time againSweeps him underneath its wingsOh oh oh indicate we're locked inOh oh oh with the kings and queens

We are the happiest pretendersWe are the happiest pretenders

If they try to catch us outWe'll chase them downWe're gonna chase them downCause we are the happiest pretenders

He wipes the crystal from his eyesHe hits the lights and leavesThem dryUndoes tomorrows unknown willLets it slideTastes the thrill

He wipes the crystal from his eyesHe hits the lights and leavesThem dryUndoes tomorrows unknown willLets it slideTastes the thrill

We are the happiest pretendersWe are the happiest pretenders

He wipes the crystal from his eyesHe hits the lights and leavesThem dryUndoes tomorrows unknown willLets it slideTastes the thrill
