Under The Mask Of Happiness

Under The Mask Of Happiness - Graham Parker

All the dirt's lying under the carpet

He swallowed a drink then checked her heartbeat

Her wedding gown has been burned to ashes

Fanned by the flutter of her false eyelashes

One last chance to kiss again

She looked so good he looked so sane

Not forever could they last under the mask under the mask

Under the mask of happiness under the mask of happiness

She got colder with each incision

No one knew he had a fatal vision

One last chance to kiss again your mother knows her baby's pain

Not forever could they last under the mask under the mask

Under the mask of happiness under the mask of happiness

Under the mask under the mask under the mask

Under the mask under the mask under the mask

Oooh

Look at them walking look at them kiss

What a picture of domestic bliss

Laughing and laughing like clockwork toys

Until they're broken girls and boys

One last chance to kiss again

She looked so good he looked so sane

Not forever could they last

Under the mask under the mask under the mask

Under the mask under the mask of happiness

Under the mask of happiness under the mask of happiness
