Under The Mask Of Happiness Lyrics - Graham Parker

All the dirt's lying under the carpet 

He swallowed a drink and then checked her heartbeat 

Her wedding gown has been burned to ashes 

Fanned by the flutter of her false lashes 

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

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, under the mask, under the mask 

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 

Photos 

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
