Lyrics
Fade in
Intro
Good morning, sunshine!
Another perfect day to pretend everything is fine!
So grab your smile, zip up your skin,
And let the good times in!
Verse 1
Paint the walls in candy colors
Tell the neighbors I’m okay
Hang a smile above the doorway
So the cracks all fade away
Another morning, what a blessing
Another bill I cannot pay
But hey, the sky looks super pretty
While it slowly peels away
Pre-Chorus
Everybody sing along now
Like the ship’s not going down
Wave your little paper halos
While we all collectively drown
Chorus
Oh, what a happy song!
Dance while the room catches fire!
Sing like your lungs never mattered.
Higher and higher and higher!
We’re so happy here together
Bleeding glitter in the rain
Laughing like it doesn’t hurt
As the world collapses again
So clap your hands for the tragedy
Smile wide for the camera lens
If this is living, then baby.
I never want this to end
Verse 2
Buy a dream in plastic packaging
Half-off existential dread
Put your heart inside the machine
Watch it choke on what you said
Everybody wants salvation
No one wants to feel ashamed
So we dress our wounds in neon
And call misery a phase
Pre-Chorus
Turn the static into choirs
Make the panic sound profound
If we scream in perfect harmony
Maybe no one hears the sound
Chorus
Oh, what a happy song!
Dance while the room catches fire!
Sing like your lungs never mattered.
Higher and higher and higher!
We’re so happy here together
Bleeding glitter in the rain
Laughing like it doesn’t hurt
As the world collapses again
So clap your hands for the tragedy
Smile wide for the camera lens
If this is living, then baby.
I never want this to end
Bridge
Cue the confetti cannons
Cue the artificial stars
Tell the children not to worry
Ignore the smoke alarms
We are the kings of denial
Beautiful and anesthetized
With our champagne apocalypse
And dead lights in our eyes
(scream)
isn't this what you wanted?!
Final Chorus
Oh, what a happy song!
Kiss me while the ceiling caves!
We’ll make angels out of ashes
Turn the wreckage into waves!
We’re so happy here forever
Frozen in the flashing lights
Singing “everything is fine”
At the end of every night
So raise a toast to the ending
To the poison and the pain
If this is heaven, then darling,
Send me straight through it again
Outro
Oh, what a happy song!
La-la-la-la, everybody’s smiling
La-la-la-la, nobody survives it
La-la-la-la, isn’t this exciting?
La-la-la-la...
Goodnight.
