Three Pretenders Lyrics - Power - Kansas

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
