Lyrics

[00:16.034] The past sure is tense
[00:18.996] They're heading up for the main event
[00:23.962] All those people seem to be hell-bent
[00:29.086] See those people up on top of the fence
[00:31.858] And the man down there
[00:33.669] Selling novelties through the fence
[00:38.286] The little shoe generation man
[00:40.828] I found your print on a dollar bill
[00:43.297] I found your print on the Indian mound
[00:45.983] I found your print on the statue at the sound
[00:48.824] I found your print on the elephant ground
[00:51.911] I found your print in the beautiful mountains
[00:56.162] The grass no longer grew around
[00:58.901] I found your print in my mind
[01:04.526] The past sure is tense
[01:07.341] The past sure is tense
[01:10.138] No you got the wrong idea
[01:12.600] No you got the wrong intent
[01:15.479] The carpenter carpenterized my vent
[01:18.479] The only peephole
[01:21.136] Where is my dent?
[01:23.658] The past sure is tense
[01:26.457] The past sure is tense
[01:30.654] Woah! Oh! Oh! Oh!
[01:37.123] The past sure is now
[01:41.069] I don't see how
[01:43.542] See those people that used to
[01:44.962] Throw those tents
[01:46.698] You can't see them now
[01:47.806] They're in past tense
[01:51.848] Oh! The past sure is tense
[01:56.056] The past sure is tense
[01:58.660] The past sure is tense
[02:01.598] The past sure is tense
[02:10.143] Woah! Woah!
[02:12.277] The past sure is tense
[02:14.444] The past sure is tense
[02:17.331] They're heading up for the main event
[02:36.153] The past sure is tense
[02:39.864] The past sure is tense
[02:42.825] The past sure is tense
[02:45.494] The past sure is tense...
