Lyrics:

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 FLAG POLE RAG AND THE WIND WON'T STOP
THAT'S MY SOUL UP THERE

I HAVE STOOD HERE BEFORE IN 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 WATERFALL
(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

I HAVE STOOD HERE BEFORE IN 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 HUNTSMAN'S PACK
THERE'S A BLACK WINGED GULL WITH A BROKEN BACK
THERE'S A LITTLE BLACK SPOT ON THE SUN TODAY
IT'S THE SAME OLD THING AS YESTERDAY

I HAVE STOOD HERE BEFORE IN THE POURING RAIN
WITH THE WORLD TURNING CIRCLES RUNNING 'ROUND MY BRAIN
I GUESS I ALWAYS THOUGHT YOU COULD END THIS REIGN
BUT IT'S MY DESTINY TO BE THE KING OF PAIN

I'LL ALWAYS BE KING OF PAIN
