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
