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 from running
waking up
in the midday sun
what's to live for?
you could see what I've done
staying out of motion
in the light of day
I was hiding
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

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

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
and I'm looking for help
left here on my own
I'm gonna hurt myself
many years have gone by
I'm still wondering why
heaven let the world
let it bleed me dry
we are not what you think we are
we are not what you think we are
