Keep The Tension On
Written by Lawrence Gowan
Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan
Beware the rotting wind
Of complacency
It loves to suck you in
'Til you're history
If you can't afford the price
Of a fatal slip
You'd better learn to dance
To the master's whip
Keep the tension on
It helps to keep the tension on
There's something to be said
For the sweating palm
There's nothing like the high
From a ticking bomb
You've got to put yourself
To the acid test
Or let your life decay
In a fat cat's rest
Keep the tension on
It helps to keep the tension on
All day long I dream I'm outside
On the hundredth floor
Down below are people - screaming
Feel their tension soar
Keep the tension on
It helps to keep the tension on
