The Pretender
Keep you in the dark
You know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all began
Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones come marching in (again)
The need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
Are you ready?
I'm finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance
That whole defense
Spinning infinity
The wheel is spinning me, it's never-ending
Never-ending
Same old story
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
Ooh, nah, nah
In time, or so I'm told
I'm just another soul for sale
The page is out of print
We are not permanent, we're temporary
Same old story
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
We'll pretend, oh, no
So, who are you?
So who are you?
So who are you?
So who are you? (Who are you?)
So who are you? (Who are you?)
So who are you?
So who are you?
Who are you, are you
Who, yeah
And if we're not like the others
We'll be one with each other
And if we're not like the others
We'll play pretend
You know they all pretend
Keep you in the dark
And so it all began
Send in your skeletons
Sing as their bones come marching in (again)
The need you buried deep
The secrets that you keep are ever ready
Are you ready?
I'm finished making sense
Done pleading ignorance
That whole defense
Spinning infinity
The wheel is spinning me, it's never-ending
Never-ending
Same old story
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
Ooh, nah, nah
In time, or so I'm told
I'm just another soul for sale
The page is out of print
We are not permanent, we're temporary
Same old story
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
What if I say I'm not like the others?
What if I say I'm not just another one of your plays?
You're the pretender
What if I say I will never surrender?
We'll pretend, oh, no
So, who are you?
So who are you?
So who are you?
So who are you? (Who are you?)
So who are you? (Who are you?)
So who are you?
So who are you?
Who are you, are you
Who, yeah
And if we're not like the others
We'll be one with each other
And if we're not like the others
We'll play pretend
