king of pain

there's a little black spot on the sun today

it's the same old thing as yesterday

there's a black hat caught in the high tree top

there's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop

i have stood here before inside the pouring rain

with the world turning circles running 'round my brain. i guess i'm always hoping that you'll end this reign

but it's my destiny to be the king of pain. there's a little black spot on the sun today that's my soul up there

it's the same old thing as yesterday that's my soul up there

there's a black hat caught in a high tree top that's my soul up there

there's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop that's my soul up there

i have stood here before inside the pouring rain

with the world turning circles running 'round my brain. i guess i'm always hoping that you'll end this reign

but it's my destiny to be the king of pain. there's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall that's my soul up there

there's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall that's my soul up there

there's a blue whale beached by a springtide's ebb that's my soul up there

there's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web that's my soul up there

i have stood here before inside the pouring rain

with the world turning circles running 'round my brain. i guess i'm always hoping that you'll end this reign

but it's my destiny to be the king of pain. there's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out

there's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt;

there's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed

there's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread. there's a red fox torn by a huntmen's pack that's my soul up there

there's a black winged gull with a broken back that's my soul up there

there's a little black spot on the sun today

it's the same old thing as yesterday

i have stood here before inside the pouring rain

with the world turning circles running 'round my brain. i guess i'm always hoping that you'll end this reign

but it's my destiny to be the king of pain. king of pain
