Pain Letra

We soak up, soak up,
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, 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 bent up
Everybody's got your fuse
Getting ready to blow
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

When everybody has gone to bed
And children are asleep, yeah
I sit up late and watch TV
And soak up, soak up
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 traveled far, this monkey and me
By airplane, boat, and train, yeah
We're here to eat up all your sins
And soak up, soak up
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 bent up
Everybody's got your fuse
Getting ready to blow
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

Boys and girls of ever creed
Religion and persuasion, no
It's time to get up off your knees
We soak up, soak it up
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
