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
