King of Pain

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 a high tree top There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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) [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff's 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 (That's my soul up there) [Chorus] 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 [Bridge 1] 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 [Interlude] [Bridge 2] There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack There's a black-winged gull with a broken back There's a little black spot on the sun today It's the same old thing as yesterday [Chorus] I have stood here before inside the pouring rain With the world turning circles running 'round my brain I guess I always thought you could end this reign But it's my destiny to be the king of pain [Outro] King of pain King of pain King of pain I will always be king of pain (I have stood here before inside the pouring rain) I will always be king of pain (With the world turning circles running 'round my brain) I will always be king of pain (I guess I always thought you could end this reign) I will always be king of pain (But it's my destiny to be the king of pain) I will always be king of pain I will always be king of pain (I have stood here before inside the pouring rain) I will always be king of pain (With the world turning circles running 'round my brain) King of pain (I guess I always thought you could end this reign) King of pain (But it's my destiny to be the king of pain) King of pain
