Lyrics Pre War Tension - Joe Talbot, Marta, Tricky

Pre War Tension

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
