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 (verse) 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) (verse) 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 (That's my soul up there) (ref.) 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 (preref.) 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 (verse) There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack There's a black winged gull with a broken back (verse) There's a little black spot on the sun today It's the same old thing as yesterday (ref.) 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..............
