The Pretender - Jackson Browne

[00:00.01]The Pretender - Jackson Browne (杰克逊·布朗)
[00:00.02]Written by：Jackson Browne
[00:18.85]I'm going to rent myself a house
[00:22.66]In the shade of the freeway
[00:28.81]I'm going to pack my lunch in the morning
[00:33.15]And go to work each day
[00:38.06]And when the evening rolls around
[00:42.68]I'll go on home and lay my body down
[00:47.49]And when the morning light comes streaming in
[00:51.54]I'll get up and do it again
[00:54.93]Amen
[00:56.54]Say it again
[00:58.41]Amen
[01:01.74]I want to know what became of the changes
[01:05.94]We waited for love to bring
[01:11.55]Were they only the fitful dreams
[01:14.76]Of some greater awakening
[01:20.729996]I've been aware of the time going by
[01:25.3]They say in the end it's the wink of an eye
[01:30.1]And when the morning light comes streaming in
[01:34.07]You'll get up and do it again
[01:37.17]Amen
[01:43.82]Caught between the longing for love
[01:46.95]And the struggle for the legal tender
[01:53.770004]Where the sirens sing and the church bells ring
[01:58.61]And the junk man pounds his fender
[02:03.22]Where the veterans dream of the fight
[02:07.53]Fast asleep at the traffic light
[02:12.39]And the children solemnly wait
[02:15.87]For the ice cream vendor
[02:21.08]Out into the cool of the evening
[02:24.86]Strolls the pretender
[02:30.9]He knows that all his hopes and dreams
[02:35.89]Begin and end there
[02:46.59]Ah the laughter of the lovers
[02:48.91]As they run through the night
[02:55.95999]Leaving nothing for the others
[02:58.44]But to choose off and fight
[03:02.98]And tear at the world with all their might
[03:08.54]While the ships bearing their dreams
[03:12.09]Sail out of sight
[03:17.75]I'm going to find myself a girl
[03:21.67]Who can show me what laughter means
[03:27.57]And we'll fill in the missing colors
[03:31.47]In each other's paint by number dreams
[03:36.89]And then we'll put out dark glasses on
[03:41.45]And we'll make love until our strength is gone
[03:46.36]When morning light comes streaming in
[03:50.01]We'll get up and do it again
[03:55.24]Get it up again
[03:59.78]I'm going to be a happy idiot
[04:03.26]And struggle for the legal tender
[04:09.87]Where the ads take aim and lay their claim
[04:14.4]To the heart and the soul of the spender
[04:18.66]And believe in whatever may lie
[04:23.16]In those things that money can buy
[04:27.9]Thought true love could have been a contender
[04:37.46]Are you there
[04:39.7]Say a prayer for the pretender
[04:46.79]Who started out so young and strong
[04:50.47]Only to surrender
[04:58.85]Say a prayer for the pretender
[05:07.86]Are you there for the pretender
[05:17.04]Say a prayer for the pretender
[05:25.71]Are you there for the pretender
[05:35.51]Are you prepare for the pretender
