"King Of Pain" lyrics
(originally by The Police)
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've always thought that you'd end this reign
But it's my destiny to be 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've always thought that you'd 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 springtime's ebb
(That's my soul up there)
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
(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've always thought that you'd 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
King of pain
There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
(It's my soul up there)
There's a black winged gull with a broken back
(It's my soul up there)
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old shit as yesterday
(As every day)
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I've always thought that you'd end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
King of pain, king of pain, king of pain
I'll always be king of pain
I'll always be king of pain
I'll always be king of pain
I'll always be king of pain
I'll always be king of pain
I'll always be king of pain
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've always thought that you'd end this reign
But it's my destiny to be 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've always thought that you'd 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 springtime's ebb
(That's my soul up there)
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
(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've always thought that you'd 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
King of pain
There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
(It's my soul up there)
There's a black winged gull with a broken back
(It's my soul up there)
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old shit as yesterday
(As every day)
I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I've always thought that you'd end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain
King of pain, king of pain, king of pain
I'll always be king of pain
I'll always be king of pain
I'll always be king of pain
I'll always be king of pain
I'll always be king of pain
I'll always be king of pain
