"Fragile Tension" as written by and Martin Gore....
Well it's a fragile tension, that's keeping us going.
It may not last forever, but of all wind is blowing.
There's something magical in the air.
Some things so tragic we have to care.
It's a strange obsession, it's drawing us nearer.
We don't understand it, it never get's clearer.
There's something mystical in our dreams.
They're so simplistic it kicks and screams.
Oh when we see too recon the art occult that nothing can keep us down.
It's a dizzying feeling that's keeping us flying.
Some glittering gauntlet, without even trying.
There's something magical in our hands.
Nothing logical to our plans.
It may not last forever, but of all wind is blowing.
There's something magical in the air.
Some things so tragic we have to care.
It's a strange obsession, it's drawing us nearer.
We don't understand it, it never get's clearer.
There's something mystical in our dreams.
They're so simplistic it kicks and screams.
Oh when we see too recon the art occult that nothing can keep us down.
It's a dizzying feeling that's keeping us flying.
Some glittering gauntlet, without even trying.
There's something magical in our hands.
Nothing logical to our plans.

Kinda makes me think of that feeling you get about a relationship, a "fragile tension" that's there, you don't know where it's going to go or what will happen but you can only hope that it'll go well. I think I just can relate it to a situation I was in last year!
Absolutely loving the new album! <3
but in that webclip of dave recording the vocals of this song, there was a "no on prop 8" sign behind him. and prop 8 was the ballot measure that if passed (which it did), gay people couldn't get married in CA. when i read the lyrics and really listened to them, i kinda thought the two things coincided a bit. but whatever, it's still a really cool song. i hope they play it at the hollywood bowl in august!
"Oh when we're teethering on the edge of collapse, nothing can keep us down"
These seem like the correct lyrics,

There's a fragile tension
That's keeping us going
It may not last forever
But oh when it's flowing
There's something magical in the air
Something so tragic we have to care
There's a strange obsession
That's drawing us nearer
We don't understand it
It never gets clearer
There's something mystical in our genes
So simplistic it kicks and screams
Oh when we're teetering
On the edge of collapse
Nothing can keep us down
There's a dizzying feeling
That's keeping us flying
Through glittering galas
Without even trying
There's something radical in our hands
Nothing logical to our plans

Makes me think of a suspension party. Where the people hook metal rings inside their skin and they suspend themselves from the ceiling by their skin......flying through the air held up by their own bodies.
