When the pain gets too heavy, 
Open your mouth and spit it out 

Listen 
When the pain gets too heavy, 
Open your mouth and spit it out

You must never chew
You must never
Swallow

My dear...
There is no 
consolation for 
long suffering,
I wish somebody 
would have told me 
earlier,

So remember
That when the pain 
gets too heavy, 
Open your mouth and 
Spit it out.
