Lyrics

the great pretender

     I was the great pretender 

     while you were in a fight 

     nothing really happened 

     I just had a dream one night 

     I dreamt somebody                                                                                                     

     dragged me to the door                              

     and said “You must go out now, see the town 

     before you get bored” 

  

     I had Mona Lisa pictures on the wall 

     your lips bit just like poison 

     or was it my cigar? 

     I put a top-hat on my head                                               

     prepared myself to meet the dead              

     then I moved 

     to the other side of town 

  

     And there I built a house 

     of all the promises we made 

     It was there I saw you march 

     in some ridiculous parade 

     now both my hands are tied                        

     I stay up late every night                             

     I am waiting for the sun to shine through 

  

     I´m waiting in the darkness 

     with a torch in my hand 

     for you must see the fire 

     when your boat comes into land 

     I would love to see you smile  that way again                                            

     and I wish that all these thunderclouds 

     will crack and the rain 

     will stop... 

  

     I was the great pretender 

     while you were in a fight 

     nothing really happened 

     I just had a dream one night...
