Well, you heard about

the Great Pretender?

I went to see him

and he's not the same

Down by the club

on the parking lot cinders

I was to meet him

and play his game.

Yonder stands the sinner

He calls my name

without a sound.



I saw his face in

the attic window

Yellin' down

through the broken pane

Sinner man!

What you got to run for?

Church bells rang

when he said that name.

Yonder stands the sinner

He calls my name

without a sound.



Well, I was about as scared

as I could be.

I went and hid

behind the nearest tree.

Peeked out

from behind the branches.

Sinner!

Yonder stands the sinner

He calls my name

without a sound

To get down.



I guess you heard about

the Great Pretender?

I went to see him

and he's not the same.

I guess you heard about

the Great Pretender?

I went to see him

and he's not the same.
