Lyrics

The Pleasure of the Pain


My luck has left me lying in a prison cell
Nothing seems to go the way i planned
Wonder how i got there, how i got so slow
I guess the shit has really hit the fan

Staring at the ceiling till the morning light
Wondering what i did the day before
I can?t remember, was a crazy fight
Was that really me lying on the floor

At least i had the Pleasure of the Pain
Now it?s over and done
At least i had the Pleasure of the Pain
Oh it was a Pleasure

Three days i had been drinking since she told me why
She was gonna be with someone else
She broke my heart but i couldn?t cry
Ended up punishing myself

He is what you want, that i can?t deny
He?s creeping thru the back door in the night
I was just a fool, i broke the rules
But what i did was right

Well my luck has left me standing in the courtroom
The old judge is staring me right in the face
He understands my reasons but cannot set me free
And then i knew i?d really lost my case

You think i?m crazy and you could be right
But i loved you don?t you know it?s true
When your alone in the dead of night
Remember i did it for you

At least i had the Pleasure of the Pain
Now it?s over and done
At least i had the Pleasure of the Pain
Oh it was a Pleasure
