The Pretender

《The

Pretender》歌词: I'm going to rent myself a house

In the shade of the

freeway

I'm going to pack my lunch in the morning

And go to work each

day

And when the evening rolls around

I'll go on home and lay my body

down

And when the morning light comes streaming in

I'll get up and do it

again Amen Say it again Amen

I want to know what became of the

changes

We waited for love to bring

Were they only the fitful dreams

Of

some greater awakening

I've been aware of the time going by

They say in

the end it's the wink of an eye

And when the morning light comes streaming

in

You'll get up and do it again Amen

Caught between the longing for

love

And the struggle for the legal tender

Where the sirens sing and the

church bells ring

And the junk man pounds his fender

Where the veterans

dream of the fight

Fast asleep at the traffic light

And the children

solemnly wait For the ice cream vendor

Out into the cool of the evening

Strolls the Pretender

He knows that all his hopes and dreams Begin and end

there

Ah, the laughter as they run through the night

Leaving nothing

but to choose off and fight

And tear at the world with all their

might

While the ships bearing their dreams

Sail out of sight

I'm

going to find myself a girl

Who can show me what laughter means

And we'll

fill in the missing colors

In each other's paint-by-number dreams

And then

we'll put our dark glasses on

And we'll make love until our strength is

gone

And when the morning light comes streaming in

We'll get up and do it

again Get it up again

I'm going to be a happy idiot

And struggle for

the legal tender

Where the ads take aim and lay their claim

To the heart

and the soul of the spender

And believe in whatever may lie

In those

things that money can buy

Though true love could have been a contender

Are

you there Say a prayer for the Pretender

Who started out so young and strong

Only to surrender
