Bloc Party - Positive Tension lyrics

He said
"You're just as boring as everyone else
When you tut and you moan and
You squeal and you squelch"
He said that you're just as
Boring as everyone else nothing ever happens
Things replace things days replace days
Things replace things

She said
"I'm gonna use my teeth and my claws"
She said
"I'm gonna use my teeth and my claws"
She said
"I'm gonna use my teeth and my breasts
I'm gonna make it happen" she said

(Run, run, run, run, run, run)
And you cannot run or ever, ever escape
(Run, run, run, run, run, run)
You cannot run or ever hide it away
(Run, run, run, run, run, run)
Something glorious is about to happen
(Run, run, run, run, run, run) the reckoning

They go
"You're just as boring as everyone else
When you tut and you moan and
You squeal and you squelch" they go
"You're just as boring as everyone else"
Stuck past timing the fear and the yearning
The fear and the consumption
The fear and the yearning
It's gonna eat you alive they go

(Run, run, run, run, run, run)
And you cannot hide or ever, ever escape
(Run, run, run, run, run, run)
You cannot hide or ever put it away
(Run, run, run, run, run, run)
Something glorious is about to happen
(Run, run, run, run, run, run) the reckoning

They go, they say they go, they say
They go why'd you have to get so hysterical?
Why'd you have to get so hysterical?
Why'd you have to get so hysterical?
Why'd you have to get so hysterical?
Why'd you have to get so hysterical?
(Success, success, success is over)
Why'd you have to get so hysterical?
(Success, success, success is over)
Why'd you have to get so hysterical?
(Success, success, success is over)
Why'd you have to get so fucking useless?

Play it cool, boy play it cool, boy
Play it cool, boy play it cool, boy
Play it cool
