King of Pain

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

THAT'S MY SOUL UP THERE

THERE'S A LTTLE 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 HOPEING THAT YOU'LL 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

I'LL ALWAYS BE KING OF PAIN
