Tension lyrics
Song information
Artist: 10000 Maniacs Album: Hope Chest-Fredonia Recordings
Lyrics
Frail hinges pivot On a cases door Commemorative Souvenirs from places Containers change With each occasion
Cellophane encased Displaying paper Certificate Credit years of service A tool of Central enterprises
The early hope For permanence the Words the rings Consistency And social security the Miracles high tragedy
A thought mistaken For a memory Dress lenghts Assassinations Fractured family ties Christenings
Local posts they List your friends In order of Disappearance Lawn scattered tins Feed birds the Portion baked for Absent guests
Mass edition icon God sent comfort is Your salvation But who grants Absolution for sins That never were committed
Tension Makes a tangle Of each thought becomes Inconvenience Sound never penetrate As servile edges Break and faint
A thought mistaken For a memory Clear the dust from Smiles in boxes Cross a patterned floor Recall the voices
