King Of Pain Lyrics

[00:15.23] There's a little black spot on the sun today
[00:21.08]
[00:23.29] It's the same old thing as yesterday
[00:31.38] There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
[00:39.58] There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop
[00:47.65] I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
[00:52.10] With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
[00:56.23] I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
[01:00.24] But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
[01:07.56] There's a little black spot on the sun today
[01:12.09] (That's my soul up there)
[01:15.38] It's the same old thing as yesterday
[01:19.40] (That's my soul up there)
[01:23.09] There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
[01:27.56] (That's my soul up there)
[01:30.74] There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop
[01:34.99] (That's my soul up there)
[01:38.59] I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
[01:42.33] With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
[01:46.30] I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
[01:49.96] But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
[01:56.89] There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
[02:01.37] (That's my soul up there)
[02:04.49] There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
[02:08.74] (That's my soul up there)
[02:12.41] There's a blue whale beached by a springtime's ebb
[02:16.81] (That's my soul up there)
[02:20.29] There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
[02:24.51] (That's my soul up there)
[02:27.93] I've stood here before inside the pouring rain
[02:31.61] With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
[02:35.53] I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
[02:39.26] But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
[02:44.00] There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
[02:47.52] There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
[02:51.52] There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
[02:55.35] There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread
[03:01.46]
[03:06.32] King of pain
[03:09.78]
[03:29.36] There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
[03:34.10] (That's my soul up there)
[03:37.29] There's a black-winged gull with a broken back
[03:41.65] (That's my soul up there)
[03:45.08] There's a little black spot on the sun today
[03:52.29] It's the same old thing as yesterday
[03:57.30]
[04:01.45] I've stood here before inside the pouring rain
[04:05.24] With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
[04:09.34] I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
[04:13.14] But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
[04:18.53]
[04:20.74] King of pain
[04:24.58] King of pain
[04:28.44] King of pain
[04:30.41] I'll always be king of pain
[04:34.37] I'll always be king of pain
[04:38.12] I'll always be king of pain
[04:41.92] I'll always be king of pain
[04:45.84] I'll always be king of pain
[04:49.86] I'll always be king of pain
[04:53.67] I'll always be king of pain
[04:55.88]
