《The Pretender》歌词

[00:00:00] The Pretender - Studio Musicians (工作室音乐家)

[00:00:20] I'm going to rent myself a house

[00:00:24] In the shade of the freeway

[00:00:29] Gonna pack my lunch in the morning

[00:00:33] And go to work each day

[00:00:38] And when the evening rolls around

[00:00:43] I'll go on home and lay my body down

[00:00:48] And when the morning light comes streaming in

[00:00:51] I'll get up and do it again Amen

[00:00:56] Say it again Amen

[00:01:01] I want to know what became of the changes

[00:01:05] We waited for love to bring

[00:01:10] Were they only the fitful dreams

[00:01:14] Of some greater awakening

[00:01:19] I've been aware of the time going by

[00:01:24] They say in the end it's the wink of an eye

[00:01:29] When the morning light comes streaming in

[00:01:33] You'll get up and do it again Amen

[00:01:42] Caught between the longing for love

[00:01:45] And the struggle for the legal tender

[00:01:52] Where the sirens sing and the church bells ring

[00:01:56] And the junk man pounds his fender

[00:02:01] Where the veterans dream of the fight

[00:02:05] Fast asleep at the traffic light

[00:02:10] And the children solemnly wait

[00:02:14] For the ice cream vendor

[00:02:19] Out into the cool of the evening

[00:02:23] Strolls the pretender

[00:02:28] He knows that all his hopes and dreams

[00:02:33] Begin and end there

[00:02:44] Ah the laughter of the lovers

[00:02:46] As they run through the night

[00:02:53] Leaving nothing for the others

[00:02:55] But to choose off and fight

[00:03:00] And tear at the world with all their might

[00:03:05] While the ships bearing their dreams

[00:03:09] Sail out of sight

[00:03:14] I'm gonna find myself a girl

[00:03:18] Who can show me what laughter means

[00:03:24] And we'll fill in the missing colors

[00:03:27] In each other's paint-by-number dreams

[00:03:33] And then we'll put our dark glasses on

[00:03:37] And we'll make love until our strength is gone

[00:03:42] And when the morning light comes streaming in

[00:03:46] We'll get up and do it again get it up again

[00:03:55] I'm gonna be a happy idiot

[00:03:58] And struggle for the legal tender

[00:04:05] Where the ads take aim and lay their claim

[00:04:10] To the heart and the soul of the spender

[00:04:14] And believe in whatever may lie

[00:04:19] In those things that money can buy

[00:04:23] Where true love

[00:04:27] Could have been a contender

[00:04:32] Are you there

[00:04:35] Say a prayer for the pretender

[00:04:42] Who started out so young and strong

[00:04:45] Only to surrender

[00:04:54] Say a prayer for the pretender

[00:05:02] Are you there for the pretender

[00:05:11] Say a prayer for the pretender

[00:05:20] Are you there for the pretender

[00:05:30] Are you prepared for the pretender
