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 m always hoping that you ll end this reign it s my destiny to be the king of pain there s a fossil that s trapped in a high cuff wall it s my soul up there there s a dead salmon frozen in a water fall it s my soul up there there s a blue whale beached by a springtide s ebb it s my soul up there there s a butterfly trapped in a spider s web it s my soul up there i have stood here before inside the pouring rain with the world turning circles running round my brain 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 the 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 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 my soul up there it s the same old thing as yesterday it s my soul up there i have stood here before inside the pouring rain with the world turning circles running round my brain i m always hoping that you ll end this reign but it s my destiny to be the king of pain i have stood here before inside the pouring rain with the world turning circles running round my brain i m always hoping that you ll end this reign but it s my destiny to be the king of pain i ll always be the king of pain
