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 king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt;

There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread.
