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 [bad word] '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 
Tha'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 sould up there 

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain 
With the world turning [bad word] '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 [bad word] '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 
Ther's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed 
There's a skeleton choking on a [bad word] of bread 
King of pain 

There's a red fox thorn 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 have stood here before inside the pouring rain 
With the world turning [bad word] '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
