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

Written by：Jackson Browne[00:00:00]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen[00:00:28]

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

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

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

Of some greater awakening[00:00:40]

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

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

Eye[00:00:50]

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

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

Amen[00:00:56]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Strolls the pretender[00:01:28]

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

Begin and end there[00:01:35]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Do it again[00:02:06]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Are you there[00:02:37]

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

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

Only to surrender[00:02:47]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Oh the pretender[00:03:28]

Oh the lovers[00:03:30]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Amen[00:04:42]
