"Present Tense" lyrics

"Present Tense"

Wrest out of the past with the memories
You stroke the limits of my boundaries
The joke isn't funny, it's on me

The last hour of sin, my date demand the rent
I can't pay
Take what I have given
Use it to your advantage
I'm not turning on you
I'm not turning on you
I'm not turning on you

I face the world I inhabit
Inhabit
Inhabit
Inhabit
Inhabit
Inhabit

The sun shines hard in my neighborhood
Take this, it's thick, it's an argument
For a better place in our time, not for history

The last hour of sin, my date demand the rent
I can't pay
Take what I have given
Use it to your advantage
I'm not turning on you
I'm not turning on you
I'm not turning on you

I face the world I inhabit

The last hour of sin, my date demand the rent
I can't pay
Take what I have given
Use it to your advantage
I'm not turning on you
I'm not turning on you
I'm not turning on you

I face the world I inhabit
Inhabit
Inhabit
Inhabit
Inhabit
Inhabit

I walk from room to room in my house
My house that's 10,000 miles from your house
The thread that is strong is between us now
The thread that is strong is between us now
I hate the world I inhabit
I have to face the world I inhabit


EP: "Never Say Never" (1982)
