Pain

(Yeah)

(Yeah)

Welcome to my little world

Completely self-contained, yeah (Yeah)

Your problems, they will soon be gone...

We soak up... (Yeah) Soak up... (Yeah)

Soak up lots of pain, yeah

If life is a reflecting pool

Then we are like a sponge, yeah (Yeah)

Absorbing the good with the bad

We soak up... Soak it up! Whoo!

So, give me all your troubled thoughts

And baggage you can't handle, no (Yeah)

We'll gladly take it off your back...

We soak up... (Yeah) Soak up...

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

Just put your hand on mine, you're mine

You're mine, oh...

When everybody has gone to bed, ooh

And children are asleep, yeah (Yeah)

I sit up late and watch TV...

And soak up... (Yeah) Soak up...

Soak up lots of pain, yeah

Little Junior on the bus

His notebook by his side, yeah (Yeah)

He hardly ever makes a fuss

He soaks up so much pain, whoo!

We've traveled far, this monkey and me, ooh

By airplane, boat, and train, yeah (Yeah)

We're here to eat up all your sins...

And soak up... (Yeah) Soak up... (Yeah)

Soak up all your 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, oh...

Boys and girls of every creed

Religion and persuasion, no

It's time to get up off your knees...

We soak up... (Yeah) Soak it up, whoo!

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 up... (Soak it up) Soak it up!

Soak up... (Soak it up) Soak it up!

Soak up... (Soak it up) Soak it up!

Whoo!
