Everybody Loves a Happy Ending

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
Your pen is running out of ink
Fill up your bath and kitchen sink
They're really kicking up the stink

You've never found the missing link
You should be happy and to think
You're rending members out of sync
And God is whiskered as a wink
Once more are different to the brink

All your love will shine on everyone
