Keep The Tension On Lyrics - Gowan

Beware the rotting wind 

Of complacency 

It loves to suck you in 

Till you're history 

If you can't afford the price 

Of a fatal slip 

You better learn to dance 

To the master's whip 

(chorus) 

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 

repeat chorus 

All day long I dream I'm outside 

On the hundredth floor 

Down below are people - screaming 

Feel their tension soar 

repeat chorus
