Lyrics

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 springtime'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've 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 (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've 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 I'll always be king of pain
