He licks the paper turns the page
He 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 oh oh indicate we're locked in
Oh oh oh with the kings and queens


We are the happiest pretenders
And we are the happiest pretenders.


Dressed down towards the Tyne
He chases evening's wonder whys
Then misses hours time again

Sweeps him underneath its wings

Oh oh oh indicate we're locked in

Oh oh oh with the kings and queens

We are the happiest pretenders

And we are the happiest pretenders

And if they try to catch us out

We'll chase them down
We're gonna 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
Let's it slide
Tastes the thrill

[x2]

Cause we are the happiest pretenders

And we are the happiest pretenders

And if they try to catch us out

We'll chase them down
We're gonna 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
Let's it slide
Tastes the thrill
