I Hate Pretending - Secret Machines

作词：Secret Machines

I never thought a moment spoke so well

As the second when you tried to be kind

Stumbling over the telephone ringing

Looking for your voice on the line

There was an orange lipped girl with her knees crossed

Sitting on the carpeted coal

She was holding onto the money

And I was doing what I was told

There was an undercover cop

Parked right across the road

You step away from the window

But you better move slow

And yeah I was only there for a minute I swear

And I know he can't see me

Or doesn't even care

And I hate pretending I'm like you

I hate pretending I'm like you

So let's cut out the fire with scars

Hanging all the lions on the floors

Searching through the piles of dust

Filling all the pockets with coal

There was an undercover cop

Parked right across the road

Step away from the window

But you better move slow

And yeah I was only there for a minute I swear

And I know he can't see me

Or doesn't even care

And this just what it was like

And for one kiss

Oh there's a moment of fame

'Cause I was just along for the ride

Do you believe him

Love in the art of persuasion

There was an undercover cop

Parked right across the road

He's looking right at me

And I think we'd better go

And I'm headed for the door

And I'm switching off the light

And we look like we just got here

We've been here all night alright
