It's not like poetry, it's not a pirouette It's not a symphony, or a melody It's nothing like the stars It's not like city lights It's nothing like a dream, it's just me When you're near here, when you come this close Eye to eye, sitting on each other's seat, oh Do you fear the tension? Do you fear the tension? Dangerous and pure Real and nothing more Do you fear the tension, the tension? I know the rules made up And I know all about the things that we decide To - - - I know the history about the kings and queens Of love and tragedy, but this is me It's not magic, it's no mystery Nothing sacred, just a shiver in my body, oh Do you fear the tension? Do you fear the tension? Dangerous and pure Real and nothing more Do you fear the tension, the tension?
