The Impression That I Get — текст песни (The Mighty Mighty Bosstones)

Have you ever been close to tragedy
or been close to floks who haveHave you ever felt a pain so powerful
So heavy you collapse

I`ve never had to hnock on wood
But I know someone who hasWhich makes me wonder if I couldIt makes me wonder if I`ve never had to knock on wood
And I`m glad I haven`t yetBecause 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 possessOr has it ever come down to do or die
You`ve got to rise above the rest
I`ve never had to knock on wood
And I`m glad I haven`t yetBecause 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 hte tested and think there but grace go
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 hasWhich makes me wonder if I could
It makes me wonder ifI`ve never had to knock on wood
And I`m glad haven`t yet
Because I`m sure it isn`t good
That`s the impression that I get
