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 treetop
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 a smile on my face
A world turning circles running round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this rain
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
There's the fossilist trapped in the 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 spring
Tied to the ebb
That's my soul up there
There's a little flag trapped in a spider's web
That's my soul up there
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With a world turning circles running round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this rain
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 rough-up brain
King of Pain
King of Pain
King of Pain
There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
It's my soul up there
There's a black-haired girl with a broken back
It's my soul up there
I've stood here before inside a pouring rain
With the world turning circles running round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this worry
But it's my soul in the dark



That's my destiny, to be the king of pain
King of pain
King of pain
King of pain
King of pain
King of pain
King of pain
King of pain
King of pain
King of pain
King of pain
King of pain
King of pain
King of pain
King of pain
King of pain
King of pain
