The Strypes

A Different Kind of Tension

At the back of my mind
On the tip of my tongue
Begging to be forgotten
Emphatically written
Dramatically read
Quoted completely verbatim

It's a spectator sport
For the masochists
And a grimace
on the face of the masses
In a side street cafe
They can't bear to watch
But they're still
peering over their glasses

It's a different kind of tension
With an audience involved
You don't want to draw their attention
I'm a coward after all
It's a different kind of tension

Ears are retracted
And cutlery clatters
To mask the sound of heart break
They can go back
To their coffee and cream

While I take my leave with a handshake

It's a spectator sport
For the masochists
And a grimace
on the face of the masses
In a side street cafe
They can't bear to watch
But they're still
peering over their glasses

It's a different kind of tension
With an audience involved
You don't want to draw their attention
I'm a coward after all
It's a different kind of tension

It's a spectator sport
For the masochists
And a grimace
on the face of the masses

It's different kind of tension
It's different kind of tension
It's different kind of tension
