King of Pain

There's a little black spot on the sun todayIt's the same old thing as yesterdayThere's a black hat caught in a high tree topThere's a flag-pole rag and the wind won't stop

I have stood here before inside the pouring rainWith the world turning circles running 'round my brainI guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reignBut 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 springtime's ebb(That's my soul up there)There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web

I have stood here before inside the pouring rainWith the world turning circles running 'round my brainI guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reignBut it's my destiny to be the king of pain

And there's a king on a throne with his eyes torn outThere's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubtThere's a rich man sleeping on a golden bedThere's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread

There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's packThere's a black-winged gull with a broken backThere's a little black spot on the sun todayIt's the same old thing as yesterday

I have stood here before inside the pouring rainWith the world turning circles running 'round my brainI guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reignBut it's my destiny to be the queen of pain

Queen of painI'll always be queen of painI'll always be queen of pain
