"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
There's a dead salmon frozen
in a waterfall
There's a blue whale beached
by a springtime's ebb
There's a butterfly trapped
in a spider's web
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 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,
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 always thought
you could end this reign,
But it's my destiny
to be the king of pain.......
I'll always be king of pain . . .
