Surface Tension - Rupert Hine

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

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

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

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

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
