I Pretend to Choke

Discover America is the second studio album by Van Dyke Parks released by Warner Bros. in 1972. Its sound is a major departure from his debut record, Song Cycle (1967), featuring all cover versions of previously written songs. The album mostly features songs popularized by early Calypso musicians, as well as songs by Allen Toussaint ("Occapella" and "Riverboat"), Little Feat ("Sailin' Shoes"), John Philip Sousa ("Stars and Stripes Forever") and one song of unknown origin ("Be Careful"). The title of the album is derived from the poem "I Am Waiting" by Lawrence Ferlinghetti. more »

Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

I pretend, I pretend to choke
But there are things we should not joke about.
I made a list - a list of things I tried so hard,
So hard to forget about.
I awoke to find my neighbors gone,
Some moved away or even dead.
Everything changes so much.
Nothing ever stays the way it is.

It don't do me much good here,
The earth is changing every year.

I was born beneath a sign,
But what that means, nobody really knows.
Everything changes so much.
Nothing ever stays the way it is.
I pretend, pretend to choke,
But there are things we should not joke about.
