King Of Pain Lyrics - Sting

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 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 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'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 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 

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 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 

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 in the pouring rain 

With the world turning circles running 'round my brain 

I guess I always thought you could end this reign 

But it's my destiny to be the king of pain 

King of pain 

King of pain 

King of pain 

I'll always be king of pain
