Undressed
T.S.O.L Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've got the day and I've got me so depressed
And it feels good
So I know that there's something about this insanity
Something you put to the test I hope it's understood
Cause it feels good
So I got myself undressed
Yeah it feels good
What a drag you caught me cold and sleeping
You had a smile that I seen was so sincere
And it feels good
So I want you to know that there's something about you
It's something I've never been sure of
I hope it's understood
Cause it feels good
So I got myself undressed
Yeah you feel good
So I got myself undressed
What a senseless picture
Suicide is quick and painless
If you disregardthe mess
What a useless feeling
Come up short and come up screaming
In this universal wreck
Well you came and brought me home on Sunday
Yeah I'm sorry
But it got me so depresseed
And it feels good
So I know that there's something that's out there
Believe and begin that it's more than a test
I hope you understood
Yeah it feels good
So I got myself undressed
Yeah you feel good
