Here are the lyrics:

(verse)

There's a little black spot on the sun today

It's the same old thing as yesterday

(verse)

There's a black hat caught in a high tree top

There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop

(ref.)

I have stood here before in 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

(verse)

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)

(verse)

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)

(ref.)

I have stood here before in 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

(preref.)

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

(verse)

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

There's a black winged gull with a broken back

(verse)

There's a little black spot on the sun today

It's the same old thing as yesterday

(ref.)

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......

I'll always be king of pain..............
