New Model Army – Tension Lyrics

Rock

Like a desert so smooth, so calm
Like velvet, like wire
So stretched, so taut
Like steel
And deep down inside
The foundations are tearing apart

Like a bomb just ticking and waiting
Like hours and hours
Keep folding and winding
And stretching
And deep down inside it
The foundations are tearing our rock

And the holes are just gaping
Swallowing everything

Please take me out of this

T-t-t-t-tension

Nightmares like circles of lies
Oh heaven
Sleeping and smoldering
Under the covers
No power, no passion
Just uneasy silence and peace
In terror I'm waiting
For the one great explosion

Please take me out of this

T-t-t-t-tension
