King of Pain - The Police


There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old things as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in the high tree top
There's a flagpole 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 at caught in a high tree top (that's my sould up there)
There's a flagpole rag and the 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 spring time'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 thorne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt;
There's a rich mean sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread

There's a red fox torn by a huntsman'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.
