Lyrics
King Of Pain
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 o' 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 o' 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 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 o' 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 o' 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.
That's Everything...
I have stood here before in 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 o' Pain.
King o' Pain.
King o' Pain.
King o' Pain.
I'll always be King o' Pain.
I'll always be King o' Pain.
I'll always be King o' Pain.
I'll always be King o' Pain.
I'll always be King o' Pain...
