Fraser T Smith - Happiest Pretenders lyrics

[Verse 1] He licks the paper, turns the page He writes the spoken word again Releases pools of untrapped blood To camouflage what's understood [Verse 2] Wrapped up in a golden throne He undresses, overloads Walks quietly to a distant place Honest lies in washed out grace [Pre-Chorus] Oh, oh, oh, indicate we're locked in Oh, oh, oh, with the kings and queens [Chorus] We are the happiest pretenders We are the happiest pretenders [Verse 3] Dressed down towards the Tyne He chases evening's wonder whys Then misses hours time again Sweeps him underneath its wings [Pre-Chorus] Oh, oh, oh, indicate we're locked in Oh, oh, oh, with the kings and queens [Chorus] We are the happiest pretenders And we are the happiest pretenders And if they try to catch us out, we'll chase them down, yeah We're gonna chase them down Cause we are the happiest pretenders [Bridge] He wipes the crystal from his eyes He hits the lights then leaves them dry Undoes tomorrow's unknown will Lets it slide, tastes the thrill He wipes the crystal from his eyes He hits the lights then leaves them dry Undoes tomorrow's unknown will Lets it slide, tastes the thrill [Chorus] 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, yeah We're gonna chase them down Cause we are the happiest pretenders [Outro] He wipes the crystal from his eyes He hits the lights then leaves them dry Undoes tomorrow's unknown will Lets it slide, tastes the thrill
