We soak up (yeah)
Soak up
Soak up lots of pain, yeah
Is it any wonder now
Everybody goes insane
Everybody locks the doors 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
You're not too late, just in time
Just put your hand on mine, you're mine
You're mine
