The Past Sure Is Tense Lyrics
The past sure is tense
They’re heading up for the main event
All those people seem to be hell-bent
See those people up on top of the fence
& the man down there selling knotholes through the fence
The little shoe generation man
found your print on a dollar bill
Yeah, I found your print on the Indian mound
I found your print on the statue at the sound
I found your print on the elephant ground
I found your print in the beautiful mountains
The grass no longer grew around
I found your print in my mind
The past sure is tense
The past sure is tense
No, you got the wrong idea
No, you got the wrong intent
The carpenter carpenterized my vent
The only peephole - where is my dent?
The past sure is tense
The past sure is tense
The past sure is now
I don’t see how
See those people that used to throw those tents
You can’t see them now, they’re in past tense
The past sure is tense
The past sure is tense
The past sure is tense
The past sure is tense
Oh, the past sure is tense
The past sure is tense
Heading up for the main event
Intense!
They’re heading up for the main event
All those people seem to be hell-bent
See those people up on top of the fence
& the man down there selling knotholes through the fence
found your print on a dollar bill
Yeah, I found your print on the Indian mound
I found your print on the statue at the sound
I found your print on the elephant ground
I found your print in the beautiful mountains
The grass no longer grew around
I found your print in my mind
The past sure is tense
No, you got the wrong idea
No, you got the wrong intent
The only peephole - where is my dent?
The past sure is tense
The past sure is tense
I don’t see how
You can’t see them now, they’re in past tense
The past sure is tense
The past sure is tense
The past sure is tense
Oh, the past sure is tense
The past sure is tense
Intense!
