Rain King Lyrics - August And Everything After - Counting Crows

When I think of Heaven, deliver me in a black-winged bird 

I think of flying down in your sea of pens and feathers 

And all other instruments of faith and sex and God 

In the belly of a black-winged bird 

Don't try to feed me 

'Cause I've been here before 

And I deserve a little more 

And I belong in the service of the queen 

And I belong anywhere but in between 

She's been crying and I've been thinking 

And I am the rain king 

And I said, "Mama, mama, mama, why am I so alone" 

'Cause I can't go outside, I'm scared I might not make it home 

Well I'm alive, I'm alive, but I'm sinking in 

If there's anyone at home at your place, darling 

Why don't you invite me in? 

Don't try to feed me 

'Cause I've been here before 

And I deserve a little more 

And I belong in the service of the queen 

And I belong anywhere but in between 

She's been lying and I've been sinking 

And I am the rain king 

Hey I only want the same as anyone 

Henderson is waiting for the sun 

Oh, it seems night endlessly begins and ends 

After all the dreaming I come home again 

When I think of Heaven, deliver me in a black-winged bird 

I think of dying, lay me down in a field of flame and heather 

Render up my body into the burning heart of God 

In the belly of a black-winged bird 

Don't try to bleed me 

'Cause I've been here before 

And I deserve a little more 

And I belong in the service of the queen 

And I belong anywhere but in between 

She's been dying and I've been drinking 

And I am the rain king 

Well I said that "I am the rain king" 

Well I said, "I, I, I, I, I, well I am the rain king", yeah
