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
