I'm shackled to a fortune-teller's crystal ball
Give me five cents and I'll tell you what happens
I see the hereafter like the writer of a play
Give me five cents and I'll tell you what happens
Give me five cents and I'll tell you what happens
I see pain, pain, coming
I see pain, pain
Pain, pain, pain, coming
Fools are trading their affection for attention again
A man of honor for the man of the hour
You can't tell that you're blind as you fall through the night
But why don't you feel it, come on and feel it
I see pain, pain, I see pain coming
I see pain, pain, I see pain coming
Close my eyes, it gets closer
Stop my ears, it gets louder
Still my mind, it pumps harder
Pain, pain, pain, coming
We gripe and delight, we afford and oblige, and we pander
Still we're shocked, in the morning after
But I see pain, pain, it's coming
I see pain, pain, I see pain
I see pain, pain, I see pain coming
Close my eyes, it gets closer
Stop my ears, it gets louder
Still my mind, it pumps harder
Pain, pain, pain, pain
Pain pain, pain, coming
The pain is coming
The pain is coming
The pain is coming
