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 a high tree top
There's a flag pole 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 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 the springtide's ebb
(That's my soul up there)
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web.

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 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 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 queen of pain.

Queen of pain!
I'll always be -
Queen of pain!
I'll always be -
Queen of pain!
