Lyrics

Positive Tension (Live)

He said you're just as boring as everyone else
When you tut and you moan and you squeal and you squelch
He said you're just as boring as everyone else
Nothing ever happens

Things replace things
Days replace days
Things replace things

She said I'm gonna use my teeth and my claws
She said I'm gonna use my teeth and my claws
She said I'm gonna use my teeth and my breasts
I'm gonna make it happen
She said

(Run, run, run, run, run, run)
And you cannot run or ever, ever escape
(Run, run, run, run, run, run)
You cannot run or ever hide it away
(Run, run, run, run, run, run)
Something glorious is about to happen
(Run, run, run, run, run, run)
The reckoning

They go you're just as boring as everyone else
When you tut and you moan and you squeal and you squelch
They go you're just as boring as everyone else
Stuck past timing
The fear and the yearning
The fear and the consumption
The fear and the yearning
It's gonna eat you alive
They go

(Run, run, run, run, run, run)
And you cannot hide or ever, ever escape
(Run, run, run, run, run, run)
And you cannot hide or ever put it away
(Run, run, run, run, run, run)
Something glorious is about to happen
(Run, run, run, run, run, run)
The reckoning

They go
They say
They go
They say
They go

Why'd you have to get so hysterical?
Why'd you have to get so hysterical?
Why'd you have to get so hysterical?
Why'd you have to get so hysterical?
Why'd you have to get so hysterical?
(Success, success, success is over)
Why'd you have to get so hysterical?
(Success, success, success is over)
Why'd you have to get so hysterical?
(Success, success, success is over)
Why'd you have to get
(Success, success, success)
So fucking useless?

Play it cool boy
Play it cool boy
Play it cool boy
Play it cool boy
Play it cool
