 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 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 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 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 to be the king of 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.

 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 yesterday

 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... King of pain...

I will always be...

King of pain . . . .etc
