King Of Pain - Live,1991

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, oh

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain

With the world turning circles running 'round my brain

I guess I always hoped that you could 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, oh (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'd always hoped 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 (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)

Oh, I've stood here before inside the pouring rain

With the world turning circles running 'round my brain

I guess I'd always hoped that you could 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

King of pain

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've stood here before inside the pouring rain

With the world turning circles running 'round my brain

I guess I'd always hoped that you could end this reign

But it's my destiny to be the 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)

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, always, always, always, always be king of pain (that's my soul up there)

King of pain (that's my soul up there)

King of pain (that's my soul up there)

King of pain (that's my soul up there)

King of pain (that's my soul up there)

King of pain (that's my soul up there)

King of pain (that's my soul up there)

King of pain (that's my soul up there)

King of pain (that's my soul up there)

I'll always be, king of pain (that's my soul up there)

I'll always be, king of pain (that's my soul up there)

I'll always be, king of pain (that's my soul up there)

I'll always be, king of pain, yeah-eah
