There's a little black spot on the sun to-day
It's the same old thing as yes - ter - day
There's a black hat caught in the high tree top
There's a flagpole rag and the wind won't stop
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
with the world turning cir-cles running 'round my brain.
I guess I'm always hop-ing 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 flagpole 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 water fall
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 circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
but it's my destiny tro be the king of pain.
There's a king of pain.
There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blindman 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 huntsmen'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 yes - ter - day
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
King of pain
