(What do you expect look… your life… your life is just like like a blank sheet to fill, turn a page over and listen to what I say…) Pretend, pretend, pretend what are you asking from life the ship flows smoothy on the sea the thirties run on the century you read a smile printed on somebody's story walking on somebody's dream just called from somebody's wish what you want… what you want… Pretext, pretext, pretext… how many trees in your mind a jungle that you like to cross a way to reach yourself disguised if it's first class… call me and I will be leading call me and I lead the way call me and I take your hand… if you please… if you please… Pretend, pretend, pretend what are you asking from life the ship flows smoothy on the sea the thirties run on the century you read a smile printed on somebody's story walking on somebody's dream lust called from somebody's wish what you want… what you want…
