lyrics
I’m not loosening up, these are real strange times
I’ve got tension in my ribcage and tension on my mind
It’s got me going and it’s all around
Tension’s got my full attention now
I can’t shake it off, I can’t figure it out
I keep waiting for you to tell me what it’s about
I called to Maria, I called to St. Jude
You know I called myself important in a business man’s suit
Oh, tension - Oh, tension
Oh, tension, you’ve got my attention now
I thought of heading down south just to start again
I thought I’d rent myself a villa in the Yucatan
Eating mangoes in the morning with the salt of the sea
I’d lock myself away and just change the key
Oh, tension - Oh, tension
Oh, tension, you’ve got my attention now
They say the red sky at night should’ve been my very first warning
Don’t pull me out of bed - I’ll just see you first thing in the morning
It’s been keeping me up, it’s been making me tense
It’s been digging in my garden and climbing my fence
Each one of my friends say that they’ve had it, too
It’s changing our perspective and our point of view
Oh, tension - Oh, tension
Oh, tension, like a grade school detention
I don’t know where I’ll be, I don’t know where I’ll land
I don’t know if I’ll ever see another helping hand
It’s not my choir and it’s not my song
Tension’s got a hold of me and it’s pulling me along
Oh, tension - Oh, tension
Oh, tension - Of the things I can't mention ...
