If I ask you a question 

are you going to lie to me? 

Is that your question? 

Because that one is easy 



It’s gripping the city 

and hitting the town 

and no one on earth is 

doing this now 



If you can pretend 

and I can pretend 

pretending won’t end 

and then and well then… 



If you take the chances 

I’ll take the bows 

saying ‘no one on earth is 

doing this now’ 



But if I ask you a question 

are you gonna lie to me? 

Is that your question? 

Because that one is easy 



If you don’t pretend 

and I don’t pretend 

pretending might end 

but pretend can pretend to end 



You can’t pretend 

Yes I can. Yes I can. Yes I can. 

You can’t pretend 

Yes I can. Yes I can. Yes I can. 



You can’t pretend 

Yes I can. Yes I can. Yes I can. 



You can’t pretend 

Yes I can. Yes I can. Yes I can
