Pre War Tension - Joe Talbot, Marta, Tricky

There’s a Macy’s parade-sized pink elephant

In the room that renders me unintelligent

Plank rigid quivers after one hundred Bensons

I don’t buy off-piste touriste intentions

Sorry reverend, Jesus gets no mention

In your heaven we’re chastised, no question

I’ve peaked, I’ve peaked, now I’m seven

I got pre-war tension

War

Saw it in your eyes

Sense it in your smile

We’re here for just a while

War

Saw it in your eyes

Sense it in your smile

We’re here for just a while

Why don’t you just leave?

Take care of my grave

And wait for hours

Bring me flowers

You wander home

Through the concrete towers

Life devours

Then it sours

You wanna go

But you really can’t stay

Your trouble and strife

They’ll take your life

Trouble and strife

That take your life

War

Saw it in your eyes

Sense it in your smile

We’re here for just a while

War

Saw it in your eyes

Sense it in your smile

We’re here for just a while
