King of Pain

There's a little black spot on the sun today

It's the same old thing as yesterday

There's a black cat caught in a high treetop

There's a flagpole rag, and the wind won't stop

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain

With the world turning circles running round my brain

I've always thought that you would end this reign

But it's my destiny to be the 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 little black spot on the sun today

(That's my soul up there)

There's a flagpole 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've always thought that you would end this reign

But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a fossil 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 springtide's ebb

(That's my soul up there)

There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web

(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've always thought that you would end this reign

But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a king on his 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 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 shit as yesterday

As every day

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain

With the world turning circles running round my brain

I've always thought that you would 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

I'll always be king of pain

I'll always be king of pain

I'll always be king of pain...
