《The Pretender》歌词

[00:00:00] The Pretender - Saving Jane

[00:00:00] Written by：Jackson Browne

[00:00:00] Going to rent myself a house

[00:00:03] In the shade of the freeway

[00:00:07] I'm going to pack my lunch in the morning

[00:00:11] And go to work each day

[00:00:15] And when the evening rolls around

[00:00:19] I'll go on home and lay my body down

[00:00:23] And when the morning light comes streaming in

[00:00:26] I'll get up and do it again

[00:00:28] Amen

[00:00:30] I want to know what became of the changes

[00:00:33] We waited for love to bring

[00:00:37] Were they only the fitful dreams

[00:00:40] Of some greater awakening

[00:00:44] I've been aware of the time going by

[00:00:47] They say in the end it's the wink of an

[00:00:50] Eye

[00:00:51] And when the morning light comes streaming in

[00:00:54] You'll get up and do it again

[00:00:56] Amen

[00:00:57] Caught between the longing for love

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

[00:01:05] Where the sirens sing and the church bells ring

[00:01:09] And the junk man pounds his fender

[00:01:12] Where the veterans dream of the fight

[00:01:15] Fast asleep at the traffic light

[00:01:19] And the children solemnly wait

[00:01:21] For the ice cream vendor

[00:01:25] Out into the cool of the evening

[00:01:28] Strolls the pretender

[00:01:32] He knows that all his hopes and dreams

[00:01:35] Begin and end there

[00:01:39] I'm gonna love myself a boy

[00:01:42] Who can show me what laughter means

[00:01:46] And we'll fill in the missing colors

[00:01:49] In each other's paint by number dreams

[00:01:53] And then we'll put our dark glasses on

[00:01:56] And we'll make love until our strength is gone

[00:02:00] And when the morning light comes streaming in

[00:02:02] We'll get up and do it again

[00:02:06] Do it again

[00:02:10] I'm going to be a happy idiot

[00:02:12] Struggle for the legal tender

[00:02:17] Where the ads take aim and lay their claim

[00:02:20] To the heart and the soul of the spender

[00:02:23] And believe in whatever may lie

[00:02:27] In those things that money can buy

[00:02:30] Though true love could have been a contender

[00:02:37] Are you there

[00:02:39] Say a prayer for the pretender

[00:02:44] Who started out so young and strong

[00:02:47] Only to surrender

[00:02:55] Ah the laughter of the lovers

[00:02:57] As they run through the night

[00:02:59] Of the laughter of the laughter

[00:03:02] Leaving nothing for the others

[00:03:04] But to choose off and fight

[00:03:08] And tear at the world with all their might

[00:03:11] While the ships bearing their dreams

[00:03:14] Sail out of sight sail out of sight

[00:03:18] Say a prayer say a prayer say a prayer

[00:03:23] Say a prayer for there say a prayer say a prayer

[00:03:28] Oh the pretender

[00:03:30] Oh the lovers

[00:03:31] As they run through the night

[00:03:34] Say a prayer oh the pretender say a prayer for love pretender

[00:03:40] Say a prayer oh the pretender say a prayer say a prayer

[00:03:50] Say a prayer say a prayer for the pretender

[00:03:54] Say a prayer oh the pretender

[00:03:58] Say a prayer for the pretender

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

[00:04:11] I'm going to rent myself a house

[00:04:15] In the shade of the freeway

[00:04:19] I'm going to pack my lunch in the morning

[00:04:23] And go to work each day

[00:04:27] And when the evening rolls around

[00:04:30] I'll go on home and lay my body down

[00:04:35] And when the morning light comes streaming in

[00:04:38] I'll get up and do it again

[00:04:42] Amen
