New Model Army - Tension Lyrics
Like a desert, so smoothSo calm, like velvetLike wire, so tautSo stretched, like steelThe surface is ripplingAnd straining and crackingFrom withinLike a bomb just tickingAnd waiting like hoursAnd hours keep foldingAnd winding and stretchingAnd deep down insideThe foundations are tearing apartAnd the holes are all gapingSwallowing everythingPlease take me out of this dreamTensionNightmares like circlesOf lies all hiddenSeething and smoulderingUnder the coversNo fire, no passionBut uneasy silenceAnd peaceIn terror I'm waitingFor the one great explosionPlease take me out of this dreamTension
