The Present Tense Songtext

von Thom Yorke

Distance
Is like a weapon, like a weapon
Of self defense, of self defense
Against the present, against the present
"Present Tense"

I won't get heavy, don't get heavy
Keep it lighting, keep it moving
I am doing, no harm

As my world comes crashing down
I am dancing, freaking out
Deaf, dumb, and blind

In you I'm lost, in you I'm lost

I won't turn round while the penny drops
I won't stop now, I won't slack off
Or all this love will be in vain, ooooh
Stop from falling down a mine
It's no ones business but mine
Or all this love will be in vain
Ooohhhh

In you I'm lost, in you I'm lost
