The Police - King Of Pain

Intro 1

Verse 1

There's a little black spot on the sun today

It's the same old thing as yesterday

Verse 2

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

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

Chorus 1

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

Verse 3

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

Chorus 2

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

Verse 4

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

Chorus 3

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

Bridge 1

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

Interlude 1

Verse 5

There's a red fox torn by a huntmen'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

Chorus 4

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

Chorus 5

King of pain

I'll always be king of pain
