Moondog Matinee Lyrics - 1973

[ Buy Moondog Matinee ]

Oh yes, i'm the great pretender
Pretending that i'm doing well
My need is such, i pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell

Oh yes, i'm the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I play the game, but to my real shame
You left me to dream all alone

Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real when i feel what my heart can't conceal

Oh yes, i'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what i'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around

Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real when i feel what my heart can't conceal

Oh yes, i'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what i'm not, you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
