King Of Pain
[Written by Sting]
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 in 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 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.]
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
King of pain
There's a red fox torn by a huntsman'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 in 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
King of pain
King of pain
King of pain
I'll always be king of pain.
