Mighty Mighty Bosstones - The Impression That I Get lyrics

rate me

From the album Let's Face It

Have you ever been close to tragedy

Or been close to folks who have?

Have you ever felt a pain so powerful

So heavy you collapse?

No? Well...

I never had to knock on wood

But I know someone who has

Which makes me wonder if I could

It makes me wonder if

I never had to knock on wood

And I'm glad I haven't yet

Because I'm sure it isn't good

That's the impression that I get.

Have you ever had the odds stacked up so high

You need a strength most don't possess?

Or has it ever come down to do or die

You've got to rise above the rest?

No? Well...

I never had to knock on wood

But I know someone who has

Which makes me wonder if I could

It makes me wonder if

I never had to knock on wood

And I'm glad I haven't yet

Because I'm sure it isn't good

That's the impression that I get.

I'm not a coward,

I've just never been tested

I'd like to think that if I was,

I would pass

Look at the tested and think there but for the grace go on

I might be a coward,

I'm afraid of what I might find out.

I've never had to knock on wood

But I know someone who has

Which makes me wonder if I could

It makes me wonder if

I've never had to knock on wood

And I'm glad i haven't yet

Because I'm sure it isn't good

That's the impression that I get.

Never had to, I better knock on wood...

Cause I know someone who has

Which makes wonder if I could

It makes me wonder if I

Never had to, I better knock on wood...

Cause I'm sure it isn't good

Am I'm glad I havn't yet...

That's the Impression that I get.
