Pain Lyrics - Oingo Boingo

Welcome to my little world completely self-contained, yeah 

Your problems they will soon be gone 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 cant handle, no 

Well 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 door to keep out any strangers 

Everybodys all pent up, everybodys 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 

Yourre not too late just in time 

Just put your hand on mine youre mine, youre mine 

When everybody has gone to bed 

Ooh, 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 

Weve traveled far this monkey and me 

Ooh, by airplane boat and train, yeah 

Were 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 door to keep out any strangers 

Everybodys all pent up, everybodys 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 

Yourre not too late just in time 

Just put your hand on mine youre mine, youre mine 

Boys and girls of every creed, religion and persuasion, no 

Its time to get up off your knees we soak up soak it up 

So open the door and let me in, dont question who I am, no 

Just shake my hand and give me your name we soak up soak it up 

We soak up soak it up, soak up soak it up, soak up soak it up
