Everybody Loves a Happy Ending lyrics

Toe the line

Toe the line

Wake up, your time is nearly over

No more the supernova

And no action guaranteed

Wake up, you've had an operation

Ideals above your station

Too much reality

Think about the waste of time spending

Watching Mother Nature's knees bending

Everybody loves a happy ending

Wake up, you're on your own agenda

Give up the great pretender

With baby eyes of green

Wake up, you're holding on to nothing

You know you're only bluffing

As dead as autumn leaves

Think about the waste of time spending

Watching Mother Nature's knees bending

Everybody loves a happy ending

Don't you just love a happy ending?

Oh yeah well so do I

And all your love will shine on everyone

The darkness of the day

A curse in every way

You try to see the light

But you don't know why

Don't know why

They tell you on the phone

To give your God a bone

And grow a set of wings like a butterfly

The guardian at the gate

Reminds you that you're late

You try to take your time

But you toe the line

Toe the line

The children of the world

And daddy's little girl

The grass is always greener on the other side

So stay and breathe new lies

Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

Wake up, wake up

Everything is moving faster than you think

(Wake up, wake up)

Your pen is running out of ink

(Wake up, wake up)

Fill up your bath and kitchen sink

(Wake up, wake up)

They're really kicking up the stink

(Wake up, wake up)

You've never found the missing link

(Wake up, wake up)

You should be happy and to think

(Wake up, wake up)

You're rending members out of sync

(Wake up, wake up)

And God is whiskered as a wink

(Wake up, wake up)

Once more are different to the brink

And all your love will shine on everyone
