I`m hidden in the scream
When the virgin dies
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
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
Do you love me pain
I love my pain
I`m your pain
It`s a compliment to me
To hear you screamin` through the night
All night
Tonight
