Good Pain

Live · Mental Jewelry [1991]

He said, he said, he said,

"There was nothing to fear, boy"

And he said, he said, he said,

"Worthless are your tears boy"



"Just realize your senses

And realize your earth

Just realize your essence first"



Well, don't you know, now I

I'll never be the same again

I want to walk in the sun

I am alive and well again

No more bittersweet

No more good pain

No more



So many of us stand in the middle

Looking back to the worst

Looking forward to the fall

Making weapons of peace for the defense

Of the bloodstains on our peaceful sidewalks



You say the buildings got too tall

And they're going to fry your brother

Well, I say you'd better walk away, walk away, walk away,

And find your mother



No more bittersweet

No more good pain



If I can't sing this song

And tell you all about it

Then I'll just pack it up right now and walk away

Don't even doubt it



So when our sherry glass is full

And the day is way too young

You'd better sip today, sip today, sip today

Before it's gone



No more bittersweet

No more good pain
