The Happiest Pretenders

Happiest Pretenders -Clare Maguire
He licks the paper turns the page
He writes the spoken word again
Releases pools of untrapped blood
To camouflage whats 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 were 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 evenings wonder whys
Then misses hours time again
Sweeps him underneath its wings

Oh oh oh indicate were 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
Well chase them down
Were 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
Lets it slide
Tastes the thrill
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

Cause we are the happiest pretenders
And we are the happiest pretenders

And if they try to catch us out
Well chase them down
Were 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
Lets it slide
Tastes the thrill
