Welcome to my little worldcompletely self-contained, yeah
Your problems they will soon be gone [we soak up lots of pain], yeah
If life is a reflecting pool--then we are like a sponge, yeah
Absorbing the good with the bad--we soak upsoak it up
So give me all your troubled thoughts
And baggage you can't handle, no
We'll gladly take it off your back [we soak up lots of pain], yeah
[Chorus]
Is it any wonder now-everybody goes insane
Everybody locks the door to keep out any strangers
Everybody's all pent up--everybody's got short fuse
Getting ready to blow up, we live in so much danger
Boys and girls in a line -- Come and get your big reward
Your're not too late Just in time
Put your hand on mine you're mine you're mine
21d16215,1721152fdd22?
When everybody has gone to bed--and children are asleep, yeah
I sit up late and watch t.v. [and soak up lots of pain], yeah
Little junior on the bus--his notebook by his side, yeah
He hardly ever makes a fuss--he soaks up so much pain
We've traveled far this monkey and me--by airplane boat and train, yeah
We're here to eat up all your sins [and soak up all your pain], yeah
[Chorus]
Boys and girls of every creed--religion and persuasion, nooo
It's time to get up off your kneeswe soak upsoak it up
So open the door and let me in--don't question who I am, no
Just shake my hand and give me your name [we soak upsoak it up]
