Tired Of Pretending Lyrics - Off The Edge Of The Earth & Into Forever Forever - Art Vs. Science

There's a world where the men are dressing up on heat 

And the girls don't listen, they just want to speak 

And the aim of the game is to get laid 

And the rules are drink until you've got some game 

But I'm tired of pretending 

Yeah, I'm tired of pretending 

I'm tired of pretending 

That I'm not strange 

And the conversation's dull 

But the cigarette helps 

But your vodka's all gone 

Before the ice can melt 

So cynical for one so young 

I had a mushroom trip and thought 

Talking to the trees more fun 

But I'm tired of pretending 

Yeah, I'm tired of pretending 

I'm tired of pretending 

That I'm not strange 

Now we pretend to be normal people every day 

And if you're not pretending then you're pretty strange 

I find it hard to relate through the language mist 

And the images of saints and the memories of bliss 

From the day when I cried when circles in my mind 

Were in the river and the tide and the sun was star light 

And I knew my mind was a prism or a prison 

Or should I say I knew it till I blew it all that night 

In a sweet, sweet girl, I can't remember her name 

And even if I could it'd all be the same 

She had brown eyes, she had soft hair 

It was at an after party and the strokes where there 

Coz no matter how Jesusy and saintly you can get 

There's always one thing that keeps me coming back. 

A hunger from within, or is it from without? 

No rationality 

I wanna feel love 

I wanna feel love 

I wanna feel love 

I wanna feel love (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) 

I wanna feel love 

I wanna feel love 

I wanna feel love 

I wanna feel love
