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 the high tree top
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 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 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 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 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 water fall
(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 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 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 huntsmen'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 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.
King of pain... King of pain...
I will always be...
King of pain . . . .etc
