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
