We prepared a beast and it's all a daze

We prepared a beast and it's all a haze

We pretended it was all right (All haze, always)

We pretended it was all good (All haze, all of our days)

We pretended a splinter was a threat (All haze, always)

We pretended all was splendid (All haze, all of our days)

We pretended it was all right

We pretended our tenor wasn't red

We pretended it was all good (A splinter was a threat)

We pretended all was splendid

We prepared a beast and it's all a haze

We prepared a beast and it's all a haze

We prepared a beast and she's all but a maze

We prepared a beast and she's stuck with us always

I rubbed my eyes and I scratched my head and laughed aloud because I wasn't dead!

I hushed my prize and I snatched her up a shred of calf cow silky braided bread!

I rushed her side and attached a lock of roses across her shirt and shoulders!

I gushed, her size, how I hatched a complicated graph of gorgeous features!

Fate how it pawed and clawed to make a ditch a dent in the mud

Fate how it huffed and puffed to take a scent of the road that was cuffed

Fate how it pawed and clawed to bait the fright of a fall through a fog

Fate how it roughed and toughed to take a bite of the bone that was caught

Cheeks that break the law

Cheeks that break the law

Cheeks that break the law

Cheeks that break the law

I'm gonna pretend

I am what I intend

I'm gonna pretend

I am what I intend

I'm gonna pretend

I am what I intend

I'm gonna pretend

I am what I intend
