Present Tense - Radiohead

Album: A Moon Shaped Pool

genre: Experimental Rock

This Dance
This Dance
Is like a weapon
Like a weapon
Of self defense
Self defense
Against the present
Against the present
Present tense

I won’t get heavy
Don’t get heavy
Keep it light and
Keep it moving
I am doing
No harm
As my world
Comes crashing down
I’ll be dancing
Freaking out
Deaf, dumb, and blind

In you I’m lost
In you I’m lost

I won’t turn around when the penny drops
I won’t stop now
I won’t slack off
Or all this love
Will be in vain

To stop from falling
Down a mine
It’s no one’s business but mine
Where all this love
Has been in vain

In you I’m lost
In you I’m lost
In you I’m lost
In you I’m lost
