you look so good when you're depressed
better even in your current state of undress
tears caressing me like rain
and i'm not even thinking, i feel fine in your pain
the coolest thing i ever saw
you were sitting there smoking my cigarettes
you were naked on the bare stone floor
you looked at me to say don't guess
i was only watching, yes i love you more undressed
is it really such a sin?
should i feel some kind of shame?
will i truly go to hell?
oh you never lock the bathroom door
should i be embarrassed when i've seen a hundred times before
how do married couples cope
should i say excuse me darling, i don't know
we could disconnect the telephone
just sit around and mess around
and tell your ma we went to rome, tennessee
and i'm not even drinking, i feel fine, it's scary
is it really such a sin?
should i feel some kind of shame?
will i truly go to hell?
oh well
the coolest thing i ever saw
you were sitting there smoking my cigarettes
you were naked on the bare stone floor
you looked at me to say don't guess
i was only watching, is it bad that i should love you best
undressed
