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

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`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
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
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
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
I might be a cowards,
I`m afraid of what I might find out
I`ve never had to knock on wood
But I know someone who has
Whoch 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
