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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Say it again Amen[00:00:56]

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

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

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

Of some greater awakening [00:01:14]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Strolls the pretender[00:02:23]

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

Begin and end there[00:02:33]

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

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

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

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

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

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

Sail out of sight[00:03:09]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Where true love[00:04:23]

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

Are you there [00:04:32]

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

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

Only to surrender[00:04:45]

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

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

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

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

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