Stan Ridgway - Full of tension lyrics

rate me

There's something pulling on my sleeve

Full of tension

There's something breathing down my neck

Full of tension

Now if you wanna take it to the hilt

You can take it 'til you tilt

Something pulling on my sleeve

Full of tension

Watchin' out my window at the people in the street

I try to keep it quiet––this feeling's got me beat

I can't contain myself no matter what I try

There's something breathing down my neck

Full of tension

A tiny hole burnt with a cigarette

Full of tension

And now I start to see the little spots

Stickin' to the wall and on the floor

Something pulling on my sleeve

Full of tension

Hup!

There's something tightening 'round my neck

Full of tension

There's something pulling on my sleeve

Full of tension

And I hear it knock-knock-knockin' at my door

I just can't take it anymore

Something pulling on my sleeve

Full of tension

Full of tension

Full of tension––tension

Stand at full attention!
