Rain King

When I think of Heaven

Deliver me in a black-winged bird

I think of flying

Down into a sea of pens and feathers

And all other instruments of faith and sex and God

In the belly of a black-winged bird

But don't try to feed me

'Cause I've been here before

And I deserve a little more

I belong in the service of the Queen

I belong anywhere but in between

She's been crying

I've been thinking

And I am the Rain King

Well, I said, "Mama, mama, mama, why am I so alone"

Well, I can't go outside, I'm scared I might not make it home

Well, I'm alive, I'm alive, but I'm sinking in

If there's anyone at home at your place, darling

Why don't you invite me in?

Don't try to feed me

'Cause I've been there before

And I deserve a little more

I belong in the service of the Queen

I belong anywhere but in between

She's been lying

I've been sinking

And I am the Rain King

Hey, I only want the same as anyone

Henderson is waiting for the sun

Oh, it seems night endlessly begins and ends

After all the dreaming, I come home again

When I think of Heaven

Deliver me in a black-winged bird

I think of dying

Lay me down in a field of flame and heather

Render up my body into the burning heart of God

In the belly of a black-winged bird

But don't try to bleed me

'Cause I've been here before

And I deserve a little more

I belong in the service of the Queen

I belong anywhere but in between

She's been dying

And I've been drinking

And I am the Rain King

Well, I said that, "I am the Rain King"

Well, I said, "I, I, I, I, I

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Well, I am the Rain King"

Yeah
