Pain

I'm hidden in the scream when the virgin dies And I'm the ache in the belly when your baby cries And I'm the burnin' sensation when the convict fries I'm pain I'm your pain Unspeakable pain I'm your private pain And I'm the compound fracture in the twisted car And I'm the lines on the face of the tramp at the bar And I'm the reds by the bed of the suicide star You know me, I'm pain I'm your pain Your own private pain Unfathomable pain And it's a compliment to me To hear you screamin' through the night All night, tonight I'm the holes in your arm when you're feeling the shakes And I'm the lump on your head when you step on the rake And I'm the loudest one laughing at the saddest wake Yes I'm pain I'm just pain Dear old pain You need your pain And I'm the loudest one laughing at the saddest wake I'm the salt in the sweat on the cuts of the slaves I was the wound in the side while Jesus prayed I was the filthiest word at the vandalized grave Yes, pain Don't you love me pain? I love my pain I'm your pain It's a compliment to me To feel you screamin' through the night All night, tonight
