KING OF PAIN - The Police

4:57



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

I HAVE STOOD HERE BEFORE INSIDE THE POURING RAIN

WITH THE WORLD TURNING CIRCLES RUNNING 'ROUND MY BRAIN

I GUESS I'M ALWAYS HOPEING 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 SOULD UP THERE

THERE'S A BLACK HAT CAUGHT IN A HIGHT TREE TOP

THAT'S MY SOULD UP THERE

THERE'S A FLAG POLE RAG AND THE WIND WON'T STOP

THAT'S MY SOULDUP THERE

I HAVE STOOD HERE BEFORE INSIDE THE POURING RAIN

WITH THE WORLD TURNING CIRCLES RUNNING 'ROUND MY BRAIN

I GUESS I'M ALWAYS HOPEING 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 HOPEING 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



KING OF PAIN



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

BUT IT'S MY DESTINY TO BE THE KING OF PAIN
