Lyrics

Pretenders (Illuminati Hotties Remix)

[Pre-Chorus]

When we were happy hopping turnstiles

[Chorus]

We said goodbye to the dive bars

The gilded foyer unfolded

We were Rockefellers

We were the best of the pretenders

All our bets on being young forever

[Verse 1]

Turn the face towards the sun

Because the sky's a hundred shades of honey

I don't recognize that face

Is it her, when did she leave that place?

[Pre-Chorus]

When we were happy hopping turnstiles

[Chorus]

We said goodbye to the dive bars

The gilded foyer unfolded

We were Rockefellers

We were the best of the pretenders

All our bets on being young forever

[Pre-Chorus]

When we were happy hopping turnstiles

[Chorus]

We said goodbye to the dive bars

The gilded foyer unfolded

We were Rockefellers

We were the best of the pretenders

All our bets on being young forever

[Outro]

We laid our bets, we made our beds

On being young forever

We made our beds, we laid our bets

On being young, young forever
