Surface Tension Lyrics

Rupert Hine Surface Tension

While you wait
There's always something
Looming low
Will it show
Your heart is thumping
Halloween without a pumpkin
Halloween
Breeding in the stream
The programmes come the same
Why not the dream

Can I keep on running
Can I keep on running

While you watch
There's always something
Taking sides
Find a clue
In any language
Halloween without a pumpkin
Halloween
Sleeping still they look
No meaner than their eyes
Trick or treat or lies

Can I keep on running
Can I keep on running

It's only surface tension
But break it and we sink
Reach out for the master's mask
The wound is deeper than you think

While you sleep
There could be something
Closing in
You don't know
Could this be london
Halloween without a pumpkin
Halloween
Breathing on the phone
The city creaks alone
They know you're home

Can I keep on running
Can I keep on running

It's only surface tension
But break it and we sink
Reach out for the master's mask
The wound is deeper than you think
