I don't like guilt, be it stoned or stupid
Drunk and disorderly, I ain't no cupid
Two years ago today I was arrested on christmas eve
I don't want pain, I want to walk not be carried
I don't want to give it up, I want to stay married
I ain't no dog tied to a parked car
Ooohhh, new sensations
Ooohhh, ooohhh, new sensations
Talkin' 'bout some new sensations
Talkin' 'bout some new sensations
I want the principles of a timeless muse
I want to eradicate my negative views
And get rid of those people who are always on a down
It's easy enough to tell what is wrong
But that's not what I want to hear all night long
Some people are like human Tuinals
Ooohhh, new sensations
Ooohhh, ooohhh, new sensations
Talkin' 'bout some new sensations
Talkin' 'bout new sensations
I took my gpz out for a ride
The engine felt good between my thighs
The air felt cool, it's was forty degrees outside
I rode to pennsylvania near the delaware gap
Sometimes I got lost and had to check the map
I stopped at a roadside diner for a burger and a coke
There were some country folk and some hunters inside
Somebody got themselves married and somebody died
I went to the juke box and played a hillbilly song
They was arguing about football as I waved and went outside
And I headed for the mountains feeling warm inside
I love that gpz so much, you know that I could kiss her
Ooohhh, new sensations
Ooohhh, ooohhh, new sensations
Talkin' 'bout your new sensations
Talkin' new sensations
Ooohhh, new sensations
