Present Tense Songtext
von Joel Sarakula

Time is only but a dream
When you′re all of seventeen
You might throw it all away on silly childish games
You had a touch of faith
So please don't be ashamed

Children don′t do what I've done
Lazing in the midnight sun
Waiting for a magic man
To come and show the way
But baby there's no magic left today

When you′re speaking in the present tense
You′re rejecting all your innocence
When you're speaking in the present tense, I′ll know, I'll know


You are beautiful I know
Cause the gods all told me so
But they never speak to me
Like they did before
I was a golden child
Then I wanted more

When you′re speaking in the present tense
You're rejecting all your innocence
When you′re speaking in the present tense, I'll know

Ooh – Ooh – Well, well

When you're speaking in the present tense
You′re rejecting all your innocence
When you′re speaking in the present tense, I'll know
I′ll know
