Tension's tearing love apart
What's a man to do?
When you've got your role and,
I've got my part
Each with a wound and tear in our hearts.
I've seen bad wearing good man clothes,
So be careful how you dress
Oh human beings,
Look at what you do,
We're so in need of grace to heal what we clearly choose.
If I could find the right socket,
I'd plug me in
And light would flood my soul
But instead I slow down and, quiet as a mouse,
I listen for the thumping, buried under ground.
Tension's tearing love apart
What's a man to do?
When you've got your role and,
I've got my part
Each with a wound and tear in our hearts.
Oh I need you so much dear.
Oh I need you so much dear.
If I could find the right socket,
I'd plug me in
And light would flood my soul
