[Verse 1]
I've stood upon my mountaintop
And shouted at the sky
Walked above the pavement
With my sense amplified
I get this feeling...
All my nerves are naked wires
Tender to the touch
Sometimes super sensitive
But who can care too much?
I get this feeling...
[Chorus]
Scars of pleasure
Scars of pain
Atmospheric changes
Make them sensitive again
[Verse 2]
Each emotional injury
Leaves behind its mark
Sometimes they come tumbling out
Like shadows in the dark
I get this feeling...
When I think about all I have seen
And all I'll never see
When I think about the people
Who have opened up to me
I get this feeling...
[[Verse 3]
Snow falls deep around my house
And holds the winter light
I've heard the lions hunting
In the Serengeti night
I get this feeling...
Forests turned to factories
And river, sea, and sky
Hungry child in the desert
And the flies that cloud her eyes
I get this feeling...
[Bridge]
Pleasure leaves a fingerprint
As surely as mortal pain
In memories they resonate
And echo back again...
[Chorus]
Scars of pleasure
Scars of pain
Atmospheric changes
Make them sensitive again
