Leonard Cohen was playing 'Memories'
You were giving me looks that were easy to misread
And after an hour or two, I'm looking for the kill
I said "Hey, you don't know me now, but very soon you will"

So won't you let me see
Won't you let me see
Won't you let me see
Your naked body?

I said let's dance on over to the dark side of the gym
You can always close your eyes and imagine it's still him
And I don't care what you think of me or what's going on inside
All I want is for you to be here and touch me, I lied

And yes I'll let you see
Yes I'll let you see
Yes I'll let you see
My naked body

And after it was over, you left me with a smile
I passed out behind the bleachers for a while
And every couple months you would come back here to check
But no, I am not dead yet, and I will not fucking rest

Until everybody sees
Everybody sees
Until everybody sees
Your naked body
Your naked body
Your naked body
Your naked body
