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've always hoped 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 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've always hoped that you would 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've always hoped that you would 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

(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 shit as yesterday

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain

With the world turning circles running round my brain

I've always hoped 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

I'll always be king of pain

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