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
