all that i am

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 flag pole 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 always thought that you could 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 
There's a dead salmon frozen in a water fall 
There's a blue whale beached by a springtime's ebb 
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web 

There's a king on his 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 huntman'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 
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 always thought that you could end this reign 
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain.... 

I'll always be the king of pain....
