Keane Lyrics

9. Pretend That You're Alone

We are just the monkeys, who fell out of the trees 
We are blisters on the earth 
We are not the flowers, we're the strangling weeds 
In the meadow 

And love is just our way of looking out for ourselves 
When we don't want to live alone 
So step into the vacuum, tear off your clothes 
And be born again 

Pretend that you're alone now 
And everything's gone 
Just animal reflex 
There's noone looking on 
Forget about fashion 
Forget about the law 
Pretend that you're alone now 


I wonder what I'd do, if I could wake up every morning 
With a clean slate 
I'd burn through the cities, I'd tear through the towns 
Cos there's no deals to make 
So break out of the cages, the delicate structures 
We cling to all our lives 
Cos we are just the monkeys, who fell out of the trees 
When we were trying to fly 

Pretend that you're alone now 
And everything's gone 
Just primal desire 
No right and no wrong 
Forget about the future 
Forget about blame 
Pretend that you're alone now 
Pretend that you're alone now 

She's not waiting for tomorrow 
And she has no love in her eyes 
Oh no, I wanna come down right now 
But oh no(?), I wanna get out right now 

Oh oh! 

Pretend that you're alone now 
And everything's gone 
Just animal reflex 
There's noone looking on 
Forget about religion 
Forget about shame 
Pretend that you're alone now 

No numbers in your phone now 
There's nothing going on 
Just primal desire 
No right and no wrong 
Forget about fashion 
Forget about fame 
Pretend that you're alone now 
Pretend that you're alone now 
Pretend that you're alone now 

Do do do do...
