Jackson Browne - The Pretender[00:00:00]

I'm going to rent myself a house[00:00:19]

In the shade of the freeway[00:00:23]

I'm going to 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[00:00:42]

And when the morning light comes streaming in[00:00:47]

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

Amen[00:00:55]

Say it again[00:00:56]

Amen[00:00:58]

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

We waited for love to bring[00:01:06]

Were they only the fitful dreams[00:01:11]

Of some greater awakening[00:01:14]

I've been aware of the time going by[00:01:21]

They say in the end it's the wink of an eye[00:01:25]

And when the morning light comes streaming in[00:01:30]

You'll get up and do it again[00:01:34]

Amen[00:01:37]

Caught between the longing for love[00:01:43]

And the struggle for the legal tender[00:01:47]

Where the sirens sing and the church bells ring[00:01:54]

And the junk man pounds his fender[00:01:58]

Where the veterans dream of the fight[00:02:03]

Fast asleep at the traffic light[00:02:08]

And the children solemnly wait[00:02:12]

For the ice cream vendor[00:02:16]

Out into the cool of the evening[00:02:21]

Strolls the Pretender[00:02:25]

He knows that all his hopes and dreams[00:02:31]

Begin and end there[00:02:35]

Ah the laughter of the lovers[00:02:46]

As they run through the night[00:02:50]

Leaving nothing for the others[00:02:56]

But to choose off and fight[00:02:59]

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

While the ships bearing their dreams[00:03:08]

Sail out of sight[00:03:12]

I'm going to find myself a girl[00:03:17]

Who can show me what laughter means[00:03:22]

And we'll fill in the missing colors[00:03:27]

In each other's paint-by-number dreams[00:03:31]

And then we'll put out dark glasses on[00:03:37]

And we'll make love until our strength is gone[00:03:41]

And when the morning light comes streaming in[00:03:46]

We'll get up and do it again[00:03:50]

Get it up again[00:03:55]

I'm going to be a happy idiot[00:03:59]

And struggle for the legal tender[00:04:03]

Where the ads take aim and lay their claim[00:04:09]

To the heart and the soul of the spender[00:04:14]

And believe in whatever may lie[00:04:18]

In those things that money can buy[00:04:23]

Thought true love could have been a contender[00:04:28]

Are you there?[00:04:37]

Say a prayer for the Pretender[00:04:40]

Who started out so young and strong[00:04:47]

Only to surrender[00:04:50]

[00:04:58]
