A Great Pretender

Live my life in a line check the sky for signs, who am I?
I don't remember
Start the day with a smile haven't felt it for a while, who am I?
I'm a great pretender
Smoke my last cigarette blow the smoke out the door
Got a fight with the world, and I'm back, I'm back for more
Breathe my last good breathe placing final bets
The world is but a rag, to wipe up your regrets

When you dance with the devil, you're gonna' do it on four limbs
When you stand in the revel, you can hear the howling winds
If you're lost in the waiting, you can boil in the pot
Take a spoon for the tasting, eat around the rot

Live my life in a line check the sky for signs, who am I?
I don't remember
Start the day with a smile haven't felt it for a while, who am I?
I'm a great pretender
Drink my last good drink think through the glass
Gives me time to think and for these anxious feelings to pass
Die my last good death, blow ashes to the path
When there's nothing left, it's a desperate grasp

When you dance with the devil, you're gonna' do it on four limbs
When you stand in the revel, you can hear the howling winds
If you're lost in the waiting, you can boil in the pot
Take a spoon for the tasting, eat around the rot

Live my life in a line check the sky for signs, who am I?
I don't remember
Start the day with a smile haven't felt it for a while, who am I?
I'm a great pretender
