MIKA - We Are Golden



Artist: MIKA
Track: We Are Golden
Album: The Boy Who Knew Too Much
Year: 2009

Wow...I haven't posted in a terribly long time! I apologize to the people who actually follow this blog. I've been busy back at home and finally had a slow moment for me to realize how much I've neglected Giraffegy. So, sorry guys!

To make up for it, I shall give you some wonderfully poppy MIKA! It's hard to be in a bad mood while listening to his music, especially this one. "We Are Golden" has catchy, inspirational lyrics and a fun, upbeat melody. The music video is equally fun to watch. 

If the original track does not appeal to you, there are a lot of people who enjoy the many remixes more. Try one of those if it just doesn't tickle your fancy.

LYRICS:

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 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
