|-|Album version=
The people down the street are packing up (Pack it up!)
As if they found a neighbour doing witchcraft
There isn't anybody I could trust
So I'm alone, dancing to a click track
What's wrong with me? I count to three
I screwed it up to the Judas Tree
I bow my head, I turned my eyes
I ran away right by your side
I tried to make it better
One candle in the rain
But there's no way around it
Now I get off on the pain
I get off on the pain, I get off on the pain
I get off on the pain, I get off on the pain
Kyrie eleison
Lord, have mercy on my soul
Now I wonder if a man could fly
With all his sins suspended from his body
Each of us was born to live and die (why?)
But I could never follow orthodoxy
What's wrong with me? I count to three
I screwed it up to the Judas Tree
I bow my head, I turned my eyes
I ran away right by your side
I tried to make it better
One candle in the rain
But there's no way around it
Now I get off on the pain
I get off on the pain, I get off on the pain
I get off on the pain, I get off on the pain
Kyrie eleison
Lord, have mercy on my soul
I look into my glass,
And view my wasting skin
And say, "Would God it came to pass
My heart had shrunk as thin!" 
For then, I, undistrest
By hearts grown cold to me
Could lonely wait my endless rest
With equanimity?
What's wrong with me? I count to three
I screwed it up to the Judas Tree
I bow my head, I turned my eyes
I ran away right by your side
I tried to make it better
One candle in the rain
But there's no way around it
Now I get off on the pain, I get off on the pain
I get off on the pain, I get off on the pain
It's in my DNA
Lord, have mercy on my soul

The people down the street are moving out
As if they found a neighbour doing witchcraft
The leaves are swirling all over the ground (ground, ground)
And I'm alone, dancing to a click track
What's wrong with me? I count to three
I screwed it up to a Judas tree
I bow my head, I turned my eyes
I ran away right by her side
I tried to make it better
One candle in the rain
But there's no way around it
I get off on the pain
I get off on the pain, I get off on the pain
No, there's no way around it
I get off on the pain
And now I wonder if a soul can fly
Across the room without hitting the ceiling fan
Each of us was born to live and die
As if we're each a little Jesus man
What's wrong with me? I count to three
I screwed it up to a Judas tree
I bow my head, I turned my eyes
I ran away right by her side
I tried to make it better
One candle in the rain
But there's no way around it
I get off on the pain
I get off on the pain, I get off on the pain
No, there's no way around it
I get off on the pain
I look into my glass,
And view my wasting skin
And say, "Would God it came to pass
My heart had shrunk as thin!"
For then, I, undistrest
By hearts grown cold to me
Could lonely wait my endless rest
With equanimity?
What's wrong with me? I count to three
I screwed it up to a Judas Tree
I bow my head, I turned my eyes
I ran away right by her side
I tried to make it better
One candle in the rain
But there's no way around it
Now I get off on the pain, I get off on the pain
No, there's no way around it
Now I get off on the pain</tabber>
