Tragically Hip - Pretend текст песни

If I ask you a question
are you going to lie to me?
Is that your question?
Because that one is easy

Ita€™s gripping the city
and hitting the town
and no one on earth is
doing this now

If you can pretend
and I can pretend
pretending wona€™t end
and then and well thena€¦

If you take the chances
Ia€™ll take the bows
saying a€?no one on earth is
doing this nowa€™

But if I ask you a question

are you gonna lie to me?
Is that your question?
Because that one is easy

If you dona€™t pretend
and I dona€™t pretend
pretending might end
but pretend can pretend to end

You cana€™t pretend
Yes I can. Yes I can. Yes I can.
You cana€™t pretend
Yes I can. Yes I can. Yes I can.

You cana€™t pretend
Yes I can. Yes I can. Yes I can.

You cana€™t pretend
Yes I can. Yes I can. Yes I can
