Mika - We Are Golden Lyrics

Artist: Mika

Album: The Boy Who Knew Too Much

  • Songwriters: Michael H Penniman

Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No giving up when you're young and you want some

Running around again
(Running around again)
Running from running
Running around again
(Running around again)
Running from running

Waking up in the midday sun
What's to live for? You could see what I've done
Staring at emotion in the light of day
I was running from the things that you'd say

We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden

Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No giving up when you're young and you want some

Running around again
Running from running
Running around again
(Running around again)
Running from running

I was a boy at an open door
Why you staring, do you still think that you know?
Looking for treasure in the things that you threw
Like a magpie I live for glitter not you

We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden

Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No giving up when you're young and you want some

Now I'm sitting alone, I'm finally looking around
Left here on my own I'm gonna hurt myself
Maybe losing my mind I'm still wondering why
Had to let the world let it bleed me dry

We are not what you think we are
We are not what you think we are
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden

Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from?
No giving up when you're young and you want some

Running around again
(Running around again)
Running from running
Running around again
(Running around again)
Running from running

We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are gold

We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden

    He seems to be deluded into thinking he possesses some form of lyrical ability.
