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

waking up

in the midday sun

what’s to live for?

you could see what I’ve done

staying out of motion

in the light of day

I was hiding

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

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

and I'm looking for help

left here on my own

I'm gonna hurt myself

many years have gone by

I'm still wondering why

heaven 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
