MUDVAYNE LYRICS - King Of Pain

"King Of Pain"



[The Police cover]



There's a little black spot on the sun today

That's my soul up there.

It's the same old shit 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 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...



There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall

There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall

There's a blue whale beached by a springtime's ebb

There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web



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



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

There's a black-winged gull with a broken back

There's a little black spot on the sun today.

It's the same old shit as yesterday,

That's my soul up there...



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...
