Tension

lyrics by the Poison Girls

The tension between what you do
and you don't do
The tension between what you can
and you can't do
The tension between what you will
and you won't do
and you won't do
aaahhh  what you won't do!

The tension between where you go
and you don't go
The tension between what you know
and you don't know
The tension between what you show
and you don't show
aaahhh... what you don't show

Tension is how you spend
most of your time
Tension is how you spend
most of your life
The smile in your eyes
in spite of the lies
aaahhh... the lies

The tension between what you say
and you don't say
The tension between what you take
and you won't take
The tension between what you make
and you won't break
aaahhh...what you won't break

If you had wings my love would you fly
If you knew that you never would die
Would you live - would you try
Try to live - would you try
ahhh...would you try
Total exposure Total abandon
Total exposure Total control
