Let's Pretend

We all take a drink from the cup

then she politely knocks it over

I said I think that I've had enough

& she says no no this is not over

because there is no innocence or beauty in

what I have seen in your face

so let's pretend

I got up to take a walk across the floor

but my feet they would not hold me

she said you should never have come into this bar

& I say no I should never have come in

but I had been sold down the river to

somebody sold me

it could have been you

So every day time slips away

there is nothing to contain it

These eyes of mine don't see the sense

of trying to control it

because every time you stand up

you're bound to fall

& sometimes we just pretend

Have you ever seen a blind man as he stumbles & falls

Me I am just like the blind man

my hands are tied & I can't see anymore

So I take a drink from the cup

then she politely knocks it over

I said I think that I've had enough

& she says no no this is not over

because there is no innocence or beauty in

what I have seen in your face

so let's pretend
