Oingo Boingo - Pain lyrics

Completely self contained 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

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 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 it's not too late

Just in time

Put your hands 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

Woo

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 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 girl

In a line

Come and get your big reward it's not too late

Just in time

Put your hand on mine you're mine you're mine

Boys and girls of every creed

Religion and persuasion no

It's time to get up off your knees

And soak up yeah

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 up

Soak it up

Soak up

Soak it up

Soak up

Soak it up
