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.
