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 a high tree top 

There's a flag pole 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 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 

(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 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 



King of pain 



There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack 

(It's my soul up there) 

There's a black winged gull with a broken back 

(It'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, 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 

I'll always be king of pain 

I'll always be king of pain....
