Rain King
When I think of heavenDeliver me in a black-winged birdI think of flying down into a sea of pens and feathersAnd all other instruments of faith and sex and GodIn the belly of a black-winged bird.Don't try to feed meI've been here beforeAnd I deserve a little more[chorus]I belong in the service of the QueenI belong anywhere but in betweenShe's been crying and I've been thinkingAnd I am the Rain King[verse]And I said mama, mama, mama, why am I so aloneI can't go outsideI'm scared I might not make it homeI'm alive, I'm aliveBut I'm sinking inIf there's anyone at home at your place, darlingWhy don't you invite me in?Don't try to bleed meI've been there beforeAnd I deserve a little more[chorus]I belong in the service of the QueenI belong anywhere but in betweenShe's been lying and I've been sinkingAnd I am the Rain King[bridge]Hey, I only want the same as anyoneHenderson is waiting for the sunOh, it seems night endlessly begins and endsAfter all the dreaming I come home again[verse]When I think of heavenDeliver me in a black-winged birdI think of dyingLay me down in a field of flame and heatherRender up my body into the burning heart of GodIn the belly of a black-winged birdDon't try to bleed meI've been here beforeAnd I deserve a little more[chorus]I belong in the service of the queenI belong anywhere but in betweenShe's been dying and I've been drinkingAnd I am the Rain King
