King Of Pain – Alanis Morissette (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 the 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 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’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 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 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 huntmen’s pack that’s my soul up there There’s a black winged gull with a broken back that’s my soul up there 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 king of pain. King of pain King of pain
