Lyrics
For Tension
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've got bruises from where you brushed against me
They feel good and i'm history
Here comes a shower of sparks
That will one day give us away
Chorus
For tension
Guess what i use?
For tension
You can use me
For tension
Your attention
For tension your attention's all i ever need
Do something wrong you must be joking
Do something right i'm only kidding myself
You take a look down off the shelf
And change address and i can't help myself
Chorus
For tension your attention's all i never need
