Pretend There`s No Misery Lyrics

Pretend There`s No Misery lyrics

(verse one): 

I fell off a cliff

Now I'm down in the deep

This place is a dive--

Four days I've nothing to eat

I'm a commercial and I say

Don't take a trip to the sun

A public service message says

"Work has got to be done."



CHORUS:But I'm no better than you

And you're no better than me

So we'll see it all the way through

and pretend there's no misery.



(verse two):

Don't fade away too fast

Don't get lost in the past

It's supernatural--a pool of death

Don't want to jump in--let me

Catch my breath!



CHORUS:But I'm no better than you

And you're no better than me

So we'll see it all the way through

and pretend there's no misery!



(verse three:)

I'm lost and alone

I'm losing my head

I wish I had a gun

How long must I pretend

That I'm just a fool who says,

Have some fun!

A public service message says,

"Work has got to be done!"



CHORUS:But I know better than you

And you know better than me

So we'll see it all the way through

and pretend there's no misery!



Well, I've got to pretend

There's no misery

Well, I've got to pretend

There's no misery

Pretend--!!!

I've got to, I've got to

pretend there's no misery--

Well, I've got pretend there's no misery (repeat ten times and fade)
