Fragile Tension live (Toronto, 2009 July 24) Lyrics
[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
There's a fragile tension
That's keeping us going
(Oh, yeah!)
It may not last forever
But oh well it's flowing
Oh, yeah! (Oh, yeah!)
[Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
There's something magical in the air
Something so tragic we had to care
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
There's a strange obsession
That's drawing us nearer
[(Oh, yeah!, Oh Yeah)]
We don't understand it
It never gets clearer
Alright! (Alright!)
[Chorus 2: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
There's something magical(*) in our genes
So simplistic it kicks and screams
There's a fragile tension
That's keeping us going
(Oh, yeah!)
It may not last forever
But oh well it's flowing
Oh, yeah! (Oh, yeah!)
[Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
There's something magical in the air
Something so tragic we had to care
[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
There's a strange obsession
That's drawing us nearer
[(Oh, yeah!, Oh Yeah)]
We don't understand it
It never gets clearer
Alright! (Alright!)
[Chorus 2: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
There's something magical(*) in our genes
So simplistic it kicks and screams
Alright Martin!
[Bridge: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Oh when we're teetering
On the edgе of collapse
Nothing can keep us down
Alright! (Alright!)
[Verse 3: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
There's a dizzying feeling
That's keeping us flying
Through glittеring galas
Without even trying
Oh, Yeah!
[Chorus 3: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
There's something radical in our hands [*inaudible screaming*]
Nothing logical to our plans
Alright!, Alright!, (*inaudible*, no! (no!))
Thank you very much!
Thank you!
[Bridge: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Oh when we're teetering
On the edgе of collapse
Nothing can keep us down
Alright! (Alright!)
[Verse 3: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
There's a dizzying feeling
That's keeping us flying
Through glittеring galas
Without even trying
Oh, Yeah!
[Chorus 3: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
There's something radical in our hands [*inaudible screaming*]
Nothing logical to our plans
Alright!, Alright!, (*inaudible*, no! (no!))
Thank you very much!
Thank you!
