Pretending (The Cosmic Pope Jam Version) [Deep Shadows and Brilliant Highlights, 2001]
Love is a flame that can't be tamed And though we are its willing prey, my darling We are not the ones to blame
The more we have the more we want And the more it hurts our hearts, my baby It always ends up in tears
So keep on pretending Our heaven is worth the waiting Keep on pretending, it's alright So keep on pretending It will be the end of our craving Keep on pretending, it's alright
Trust is a word all lovers know The glorious art of staining souls, my darling It always ends up in tears
