Oingo Boingo - Pain Lyrics
Welcome to my little world...completely self-contained, yeahYour problems they will soon be gone (we soak up lots of pain), yeahIf life is a reflecting pool--then we are like a sponge, yeahAbsorbing the good with the bad--we soak up...soak it upSo give me all your troubled thoughtsAnd baggage you cant handle, noWell gladly take it off your back (we soak up lots of pain), yeah(chorus)Is it any wonder now-everybody goes insaneEverybody locks the door to keep out any strangersEverybodys all pent up--everybodys got short fuseGetting ready to blow up, we live in so much dangerBoys and girls in a line -- come and get your big rewardYourre not too late just in timePut your hand on mine youre mine youre mineWhen everybody has gone to bed--and children are asleep, yeahI sit up late and watch t.v. (and soak up lots of pain), yeahLittle junior on the bus--his notebook by his side, yeahHe hardly ever makes a fuss--he soaks up so much painWeve traveled far this monkey and me--by airplane boat and train, yeahWere here to eat up all your sins (and soak up all your pain), yeah(chorus)Boys and girls of every creed--religion and persuasion, noooIts time to get up off your knees...we soak up...soak it upSo open the door and let me in--dont question who I am, noJust shake my hand and give me your name (we soak up...soak it up...)
