People Posture Play Pretend

Lyrics

[Verse 1] - and get excited for a moment But like a candle underwater It puts a bullet through the showman But I'm giving it back tomorrow And they can keep it at their bedside I'll paint a pattern on the window And watch them try to hit the broadside [Pre-Chorus 1] I just aim for the end of the day And sleeping through the morning, it's always the same But I won't sit around, only wait, I will change it to go my way [Chorus] But can you make it on your own When your self is on the mend? Well, you can fake a status quo A passive poem, psyche-penned But can it get you very far? Oh, it's a road without an end But evеrybody plays a part The people posturе, play pretend [Interlude] (じゃ〜!) [Verse 2] Oh, it's a ruby colored Wednesday And I can feel it getting faster I'm simply flown along the flyway But I can't decide if I want to wander A vagabond upon the roadside It's always easier to ponder With all the fates remaining tongue-tied [Pre-Chorus 2] I just aim for the end of the show And sleeping through the chorus, it's all that I know But I can play a part, take it slow, and I'll bask in the spotlight glow [Chorus] But can you make it on your own When your self is on the mend? Well, you can ride along the flow A proud performance, pure pretense But can it get you very far? Or are you stuck inside the trend? Well, you can pass the prosy par When people posture, play pretend [Pre-Chorus 3] I just aim for whatever I can And someday maybe something will go as I planned But nothing that I try seems to fly, I rely on some fleeting sleight of hand But the push comes to shove anyway You're dying every evening and born every day So you just need a part you can play, and you're ready to join the stage And paint a pattern on the wall [Chorus] But can you make it on your own When your self is on the mend? Well, that's an answer you should know A perfect person? Preference 'Cause you've already made it here So don't you let yourself forget Just keep it simple and sincere Proclaim your pleasure, pirouette And you can make it pretty far Something on which you can depend You'll be a guiding little star When people posture, play pretend [Outro] (Paisley Pudge!)
