I'm not sure,

What I'm looking for anymore.

I just know,

Is a question of control.

There's a hole in your soul,
Like an animal.

Repentance unknown.

Close your eyes,

Pay the price for your paradise.

That are sown.

Can't conceal what I feel,

I care.

With a prayer in the air,

I will leave it there.

On a note full of hope,
Em
Not despair.

NOTES:
1. “A Pain That I'm Used To" is the second single and opening track of the album ‘Playing the Angel’
by Depeche Mode, and the forty-second DM single overall. The single was released on 12 December 2005
by Mute Records. ...”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Pain_That_I'm_Used_To
2. The music video is directed by Uwe Flade, who also directed the "Precious" single. It features
much more live action sequences (in a race track), than the "Precious" video and even David Gahan's
"Bottle Living" video. Depeche Mode's live drummer Christian Eigner also appears in the video.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Pain_That_I'm_Used_To
3. This version, I believe is closest to capturing that original ‘drone-like’ quality of this song,
that is played live by DM, in opening tuning.
