He licks the paper, turns the page
He writes the spoken word again
Releases pools of un-trapped blood
To camouflage what's understoodWrapped up in a golden throne
He undresses overloads
Walks quietly to a distant place
Honest lies in washed out graceOh, 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 pretendersDressed down towards the Tyne
He chases evening's wonder whys
Then misses hours time again
Sweeps him underneath its wingsOh, 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 pretendersAnd if they try to catch us out
We'll chase 'em down again
We're gonna chase them down
'Cause we are the happiest pretendersHe wipes the crystal from his eyes
He hits the lights, then leaves them dry
Undoes tomorrows unknown will
Let's it slide, tastes the thrillHe wipes the crystal from his eyes
He hits the lights, then leaves them dry
Undoes tomorrows unknown will
Lets it slide, tastes the thrillOh, 'cause we are the happiest pretenders
And we are the happiest pretendersAnd if they try to catch us out
We'll chase them down again
We're gonna chase them down
'Cause we are the happiest pretendersHe wipes the crystal from his eyes
He hits the lights and leaves them dry
Undoes tomorrows unknown will
Lets it slide, tastes the thrill
