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...
