Songs Title:the pretender
gonna rent myself a house
in the shade of the freeway
i'm gonna 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 amem
i wanna know what became of those changes
we waited for love to bring
were they only the fitfull dreams of some greater awakening
i've been aware of the time going by
they say the end is a 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 junkman 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
i'm gonna find myself a boy who can show me what laughter means
and we'll fill in the missing colors of each others paint-by-number dreams
and then we'll put our dark galsses 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 do it again
i'm gonna be a happy idiot struggle for the legal tender
where the ads take aim and they 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 where true love could have been a contender
are you there? say a prayer for the pretender
who stared out so young and strong only to surrender
ah the laughter of the lovers as they run through the night
leaving nothing for the others but to choose off and fight and tear the world with all their might
while the ships bearing their dreams sail out of sight
say a prayer for the pretender
are you there for the pretender?
say a prayer for the pretender are you there for the pretender?
are you there for the pretender?
