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
