Happiest Pretenders Lyrics - Light After Dark - Clare Maguire

He licks the paper, turns the page 

He writes the spoken word again 

Releases pools of un-trapped 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 'em down again 

We're gonna chase them down 

'Cause we are the happiest pretenders 

He wipes the crystal from his eyes 

He hits the lights, then leaves them dry 

Undoes tomorrows unknown will 

Let's it slide, tastes the thrill 

He wipes the crystal from his eyes 

He hits the lights, then leaves them dry 

Undoes tomorrows unknown will 

Lets it slide, tastes the thrill 

Oh, '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 again 

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 

Lets it slide, tastes the thrill
