Intro (x2)

Verse

I’m gonna rent myself a house in the shade of the freeway,

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  A— men

Say it again A— men

Verse

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 blink of an eye

And when the morning light comes streaming in

You’ll get up and do it again  A— men   

Bridge

  Ah the lovers 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

Verse

I’m gonna find myself a girl,

Who can show me what laughter means

Then we’ll fill in the missing colors in each others

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   

Outro

Say a prayer for the pretender

Are you there for the pretender

Say a prayer for the pretender

Oh, are you there for the pretender

Are you prepared for the pretender
