[00:09.72]Never thought that I was weak
[00:13.37]Always thought I could be pretty bad
[00:15.71]Still get up on my own two feet
[00:22.08]I always believed that I was free
[00:25.77]That I had some sense of integrity
[00:27.83]That I would rise above whatever tried to change me
[00:34.42]But honey now, I won't wait
[00:40.14]For something to bring me round and smile
[00:44.58]'Cause that only sticks for a while
[00:47.77]Then I'm back again
[00:51.16]Oh I'm a master pretender
[01:01.81]I always knew that I was young
[01:06.44]But with my head held high and a sharp tongue
[01:08.71]I could fool almost anyone
[01:14.05]I never expected to be struck
[01:18.88]By the fatal hands of fortune
[01:20.97]Or by sheer bad luck
[01:26.67]But honey now, we won't change
[01:31.82]And memories just rearrange
[01:36.34]And fall into place
[01:40.13]So I'm back again
[01:43.14]Oh I'm a master pretender
[01:54.19]All the streets of New York City
[02:00.18]Sure look pretty from way up here
[02:04.07]And I was heading home
[02:09.44]Just felt more alone the further I'd go
[02:19.86]I'd always thought that you'd be here
[02:23.28]But shit gets fucked up
[02:25.34]And people just disappear
[02:28.39]So honey now, don't be mad
[02:36.09]Time has told me can't be that bad and if it is
[02:40.93]Well I be goddamned
[02:44.58]But I'll stick around
[02:47.60]I'll be your master defender
[02:50.91]Yeah I'll stick around
[02:56.78]I'll be your master defender
