The Past Sure Is Tense

Lyrics

[Refrain] The past sure is tense They're heading up for the main event All those people seem to be hell-bent [Verse 1] See those people up on top of the fence And the man down there Selling novelties through the fence The little shoe generation man I found your print on a dollar bill 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 [Refrain] The past sure is tense The past sure is tense No you got the wrong idea No you got the wrong intent [Verse 2] The carpenter carpenterized my vent The only peephole Where is my dent? [Refrain] The past sure is tense The past sure is tense [Verse 3] Wow! Oh! Oh! Oh! 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 [Refrain] Oh! The past sure is tense The past sure is tense The past sure is tense The past sure is tense Woah! Woah! The past sure is tense The past sure is tense They're heading up for the main event The past sure is tense The past sure is tense The past sure is tense The past sure is tense The past sure is tense The past sure is tense Oh, where is my dent?
