Pretenders Lyrics


The evening comes

I run away and got rid of

My casual sheepskin

And my boring attitude of life!

I try on different clothes

Try on different values

And I am neither one

And nor the other man

All my life, your life

We play the roles!

In the spotlight of your life

And alone...

Shouting

From loneliness

And feeling joy

With no bad luck

We will pretend

Until the end

People we'd like to be

I will take off

My humdrum sheepskin for a day

And I will never wear it back

I won't be back again

Under the bright sun

And in the

Sublunar world

No one will see this

But for me

It all will change

All my life, your life

We play the roles!

In the spotlight of your life

And alone...

Shouting

From loneliness

And feeling joy

With no bad luck

We will pretend

Until the end

People we'd like to be

We accept the challenge

We get back to games

We lose and win them

Day by day

We deny imposed

We learn to dream again

And we want to be free

Someday

All my life, your life

We play the roles!

In the spotlight of your life

And alone...

You are not alone

Not Alone

Not Alone!

We will pretend

Until the end

People we'd

Like to be!
