The Cure For The Pain

　　The Cure For The Pain-Gretchen Peters

　　Damn this lump in my throat

　　damn this hole in my coat

　　damn this rain that just won’t quit

　　damn the sorry waste of it

　　damn the truth, and damn these lies

　　damn that look behind your eyes

　　damn this day, damn this night

　　goddamn this losing fight

　　there ain’t no boat, there ain’t no train

　　to take us back the way we came

　　ain’t no shelter from this hard rain

　　the cure for the pain is the pain

　　the cure for the pain is the pain

　　it’s not like you think it’s gonna be

　　not like the movies that you see

　　ain’t no soaring violins

　　just machines and medicines

　　so bless these pills, bless these sheets

　　bless this food that you can’t eat

　　bless the damned who walk these halls

　　and god have mercy on us all

　　there ain’t no drug, there ain’t no cure

　　to make it like it was before

　　ain’t no shelter from this hard rain

　　the cure for the pain is the pain

　　the cure for the pain is the pain
