Kansas Three Pretenders Lyrics

Three Pretenders Lyrics

Three pretenders forced their entry

There wasn't time to defend or
attack

Somewhere inside I held their fury

But one by one my defenses
began to crack



The first became a voice from my childhood

Without
a world to call his own

Asking questions but doubting the answers

And
too confused to stand up and face it alone



I can feel my body
tremble

Like an animal under the gun

Can you feel your body
tremble

Look in and see the eyes of Three Pretenders



The second
came a shadowy hustler

Selling anything not nailed to the ground

He put
a price on my resistance

And if it's high, I know he'll be marking it
down



The third became a mysterious traveller

Stormy words like
sea-weathered sails

His life was scarred with peaks and valleys

A
haunted kingdom crumbling against the gales



I can feel my body
tremble

Like a child afraid of the dark

Can you feel your body
tremble

Look in and see the eyes of Three Pretenders
