Verse

 When I think of heaven

 Deliver me in a black-winged bird

 I think of flying down into a sea of pens and feathers

 And all other instruments of faith and sex and God

 In the belly of a black-winged bird.

 Don't try to feed me

 I've been here before

 And I deserve a little more

Chorus

 I belong in the service of the Queen

 I belong anywhere but in between

 She's been crying and I've been thinking

 And I am the Rain King

Verse

 And I said mama, mama, mama, why am I so alone?

 I can't go outside

 I'm scared I might not make it home

 I'm alive, I'm alive

 But I'm sinking in

 If there's anyone at home at your place, darling

 Why don't you invite me in?

 Don't try to bleed me

 I've been there before

 And I deserve a little more

Chorus

 I belong in the service of the Queen

 I belong anywhere but in between

 She's been lying and I've been sinking

 And I am the Rain King

Bridge

 Hey, I only want the same as anyone

 Henderson is waiting for the sun

 Oh, it seems night endlessly begins and ends

 After all the dreaming I come home again

repeat

  2x here

Verse

 When I think of heaven

 Deliver me in a black-winged bird

 I think of dying

 Lay me down in a field of flame and heather

 Render up my body into the burning heart of God

 In the belly of a black-winged bird

 Don't try to bleed me

 I've been here before

 And I deserve a little more

Chorus

 I belong in the service of the queen

 I belong anywhere but in between

 She's been dying and I've been drinking

 And I am the Rain King
