Pain, pain go away,

Come back another day,

I just wanna get one up on life before it kills me.



I guess we'll never know,

If when were gone there's a place to go.

Or if we don't see anything at all,

Is that what were supposed to call faith?

Well if that is that, and it all just fades to black,

And we don't see anything at all,

We don't see anything,

What are you waiting for?



Pain, pain go away,

Come back another day,

I just wanna get one up on life before it kills me.

And I can't put my faith in a fallacy,

I just wanna get one up on life before it kills me.



The world is a funny place,

It kicks you when you're down

And knocks you out when you get up again.

I don't think it's worth suffering through.

But on the other hand,

There's a world full of possibilities

And a million other people just like you

Who've all been through what you've been through,

They were singing…



Pain, pain go away,

Come back another day,

I just wanna get one up on life before it kills me.

And I can't put my faith in a fallacy,

I just wanna get one up on life before it kills me.



I saw it all flash and pass by

With bright lights

And right before my eyes was the Exit sign.

I saw it all flash and pass by

And asked why I wasted precious time,

It just passed me by.

It just passed me by.



We are just passing by.

(Just passing by.)

Just passing by.

Oh, we are just passing by.

(Just passing by.)

Just passing by.



Pain, pain go away,

Come back another day,

I just wanna get one up on life before it kills me.

I can't put my faith in a fallacy,

I don't wanna wait for that goodbye to see what could've been.

And I just wanna get one up on life before it kills me.
