Bloc Party
Positive Tension
[Verse 1]
He said, "You're just as boring as everyone else
When you tut and you moan and you squeal and you squelch"
He said, "You're just as boring as everyone else"
Nothing ever happens

[Refrain]
Things replace things
Days replace days
Things replace things

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
The fear and the yearning
The fear and the consumption
The fear and the yearning
It's gonna eat you alive, they go

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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? (Success, success, success)
[Outro]
Play it cool, boy
Play it cool, boy
Play it cool, boy
Play it cool, boy
Play it cool
