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 
(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 [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 
There'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 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 [bad word] 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 
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....
