“No giving up when you're young and you want some”

I saw Mika last year with some friends and he was phenomenal. The concert was out of control...i'm talking Tranny's, blow up dolls, glitter and giant balloons. I was completely in love with the first album and was thrilled to hear about his new record. I instantly fell in love with his new song.

“We are Golden” is upbeat, funky and fun. In my opinion, Mika can do no wrong...especially when he adds a cray cray choir to a song (like he did in "We are Golden").

I first fell in love with the sexy power pop singer song writer when I heard "Happy Ending" off his debut album, Life in Cartoon Motion. It's an incredible song and definitely deserves a listen if you get a chance, but for right now...you must listen to his new song. I have included a link to the music video and the lyrics are below.

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 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 from running
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 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 from running
Running around again
Running from running

We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden.


Enjoy!!!!
