Pretend That You're Alone - Keane

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…
