The Present Tense Lyrics - Singles - Geddy Lee

Living in the present tense 

When you lose the past 

The future makes no sense 

Living in the present tense 

When there's nothing to blame 

No victim of consequence 

Living in the present tense 

Crawling out 

Secure and confident 

Imbued with innocence 

Ready for the world 

Suddenly 

The view was more intense 

Living in a different 

Kind of world 

You're living 

Living in the present tense 

When you lose the past 

The future makes no sense 

Living in the present tense 

When there's nothing to blame 

No victim of consequence 

Living in the present tense 

Something is said 

It made me step outside 

The moment eyes pan right 

And left around my world 

Open yourself 

Up to the possibility 

Aware of some reality 

Outside your world 

In a silent universe 

The moment can be so real 

You almost can't stand it 

In a distant universe 

Distracted from ourselves 

You can't help but wonder 

In a crowded universe 

When the talking turns to noise 

You almost start laughing 

You're living 

Living in the present tense 

When you lose the past 

The future makes no sense 

Living in the present tense 

When there's nothing to blame 

No victim of consequence 

Living in the present tense 

When there's nothing to blame 

No victim of consequence 

Living in the present tense 

Living in the present tense
