lyrics

There's an After after every Ever After
And if these events cause some offence
I won't say what that represents
I can't hear the jokes for all the laughter
Life's a picnic
Life's a treat
But just when this life seemed so sweet

You notice ants in the sugar bowl
The romance is getting cold
Your world's viewed through a prism
Of endless euphemisms
All the stories have been told
The newfangles are getting old
Where will our lives spit us out
Can there really be any doubt
That
Every
Tragedy
Begins with a happy ending
Every tragedy begins the same
Every tragedy begins with a happy ending
But they don't stay that way

Though our fate's unknown
That don't make it less certain
We're paying interest on all
Those happy moments that we stole
So stay at home and gently twitch the curtain
We've got the perfect view to
Watch our shrinking futures

Follow the rules
Right down to the letter
You think your love will grow
But it's already plateaued
And if your dreams come true
It means you should dream better
So dance like there's no yesterday
Dance all of those dreams away
And say

Every
Tragedy
Begins with a happy ending
Every tragedy begins the same
Every tragedy begins with a happy ending
But they don't stay that way

Coincidences and serendipity
Providence is all down to destiny
I'm convinced this will end up miserably now
Don't scream
Don't fuss
It's ever been thus
Line crossed
Coin tossed
Game lost
Because
Every
Tragedy
Begins with a happy ending
Every tragedy begins the same
Every tragedy begins with a happy ending
But they don't stay that way
