Lyrics
The Pain Song
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
What if I don't need debating
If I'm not healed by negotiating
If I don't need to be a shooting star
If I don't need a fast car
If nothing changes when I whine and moan
If no one cares if I pay my loan
What if I shake hands with doom
Or thrash another hotelroom
What if the sky is always moonlit
When it all comes down to it
And no trillion zillion dollars
Can break those chains and collars
What if love's just methadon
If the battle's already won
If I'm clean or in a purple haze
If my sleeves don't hide an ace
Don't be afraid
What if there's no Cayman sunshine
To make me believe I'm fine
What if I'm stuck in immigration
And the train just left the station
What if you think I think I'm Davy Crockett
If I'm caught with bullets in my pocket
What if I read in a crystal ball
That I better put an end to it all
Don't be afraid
