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....
