Pain |
Welcome to my little world |
Completely self-contained, yeah |
Your problems, they will soon be gone |
(We soak up lots of pain), yeah |
If life is a reflecting pool |
Then we are like a sponge, yeah |
Absorbing the good with the bad |
We soak up… soak it up |
So give me all your troubled thoughts |
And baggage you can’t handle, no |
We’ll gladly take it off your back |
(We soak up lots of pain), yeah |
Is it any wonder, now—everybody goes insane |
Everybody locks the doors to keep out any strangers |
Everybody’s all pent up—everybody's got short fuse |
Getting ready to blow up, we live in so much danger |
Boys and girls in a line |
Come and get your big reward |
You’re not too late; |
just in time |
Put your hand on mine, you’re mine |
You’re mine |
When everybody has gone to bed |
And children are asleep, yeah |
I sit up late and watch TV |
(And soak up lots of pain), yeah |
Little Junior on the bus |
His notebook by his side, yeah |
He hardly ever makes a fuss |
He soaks up so much pain |
We’ve traveled far, this monkey and me |
By airplane, boat, and train, yeah |
We’re here to eat up all your sins |
(And soak up lots of pain), yeah |
Is it any wonder, now—everybody goes insane |
Everybody locks the doors to keep out any strangers |
Everybody’s all pent up—everybody's got short fuse |
Getting ready to blow up, we live in so much danger |
Boys and girls of every creed—religion and persuasion, no |
It’s time to get up off your knees… we soak it up… we soak it up |
So, open the door and let me in—don't question who I am, no |
Just shake my hand and give me your name |
(We soak it up… soak it up…) |
