Simple Pain, Complex Place

from Disappearance by Larry Hirshberg

/

about

Wrote this in 1984, recorded it in 2001. This is the only version. It has never been in the live repertoire.

lyrics

WELL YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING
AGAIN YOU FEEL BAD
BUT YOU STEP TO THE SIDEWALK
AND SEE THE STREET IS NOT SAD

THE SKY SOFTLY SHIMMERS
THE TREES WHISPER GREEN
BUT YOU CAN’T SHAKE THAT DARKNESS
YOU CAN’T SEE WHAT IT MEANS


Chorus:
IT’S A SIMPLE PAIN IN A COMPLEX PLACE
JUST A SIMPLE PAIN IN A COMPLEX PLACE
IT’S A SIMPLE PAIN IN A COMPLEX PLACE


WELL THE WORLD IS NOT EASY
NOR IS WHAT YOU DO
YOU’RE MEASURIN’ AGAINST YESTERDAY
TRYIN’ TO SEE IF YOU GREW

WELL YOU FILL YOURSELF UP AND THEN
YOU EMPTY BACK OUT
IN THE END THERE’S NO COMFORT
THEN IN CREEPS YOUR DOUBT

CHORUS

THERE’S A THOUSAND PLACES
ONE WAY TO FEEL BAD
THERE’S BILLIONS OF PEOPLE TODAY
ALL FEEL THE SAME WHEN THEY’RE SAD

SO THE WAY THAT YOU FEEL RIGHT NOW
NO NEED TO EXPLAIN
‘CAUSE THE WORLD IS COMPLICATED
SIMPLE IS YOUR PAIN
