Feels Good
Masquerade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I've never done this before
I'm not the needing kind
Danger the drug that begs for more
Feels good
Touched by the grace of God
Deprived of my reality
Expand my personality
Don't want no other
Don't need no other
It's different but it's mine
Feels good to me, so good to me
You and I we got a strange desire
Feels good to me
You and I we couldn't get much higher
You and I, feels good
Addictive waves of sin
A yearning pulse of secret needs
The sudden urge within
When every string of muscle pleads
