That feel

Well there´s one thing you can´t lose
It´s that feel
Your pants, your shirt, your shoes
But not that feel
You can throw it out in the rain
You can whip it like a dog
You can chop it down like an old dead tree
You can always see it
When you´re coming into town
Once you hang it on the wall
You can never take it down
But there´s one thing you can´t lose
And it´s that feel
You can pawn your watch and chain
But not that feel
It always comes and finds you
It will always hear you cry
I cross my wooden leg
And I swear on my glass eye
It will never leave you high and dry
Never leave you loose
It´s harder to get rid of than tattoos
But there´s one thing you can´t do
Is lose that feel
You can throw it off a bridge
You can lose it in the fire
You can leave it at the altar
But it will make you out a liar
You can fall down in the street
You can leave it in the lurch
Well you say that it´s gospel
But I know that it´s only church
And there´s one thing you can´t lose
And it´s that feel
It´s that feel
It´s that feel
Your pants, your shirt, your shoes
But not that feel
You can throw it out in the rain
You can whip it like a dog
You can chop it down like an old dead tree
You can always see it
When you´re coming into town
Once you hang it on the wall
You can never take it down
But there´s one thing you can´t lose
And it´s that feel
You can pawn your watch and chain
But not that feel
It always comes and finds you
It will always hear you cry
I cross my wooden leg
And I swear on my glass eye
It will never leave you high and dry
Never leave you loose
It´s harder to get rid of than tattoos
But there´s one thing you can´t do
Is lose that feel
You can throw it off a bridge
You can lose it in the fire
You can leave it at the altar
But it will make you out a liar
You can fall down in the street
You can leave it in the lurch
Well you say that it´s gospel
But I know that it´s only church
And there´s one thing you can´t lose
And it´s that feel
It´s that feel
