Rain King
Lyrics 
When I think of Heaven
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
I think of flying down into a sea of pens and feathers
And all other instruments of faith and sex and God

Don't try to bleed me
I belong anywhere but in between
Publisher: JONES FALLS MUSIC
And I deserve a little more
She's been cryin' and I've been thinkin'
I think of flying down into a sea of pens and feathers
Well I said, "I-I-I am"
After all the dreamin', I come home again
And I am the rain King
She's been dyin' and I've been drinkin'
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
If there's anyone at home at your place, darlin'
I can't go outside, I'm scared, I might not make it home
'Cos I've been here before
I belong in the service of the queen
I think of dyin', lay me down in a field of flame and heather
Why don't you invite me in?
In the belly of a black-winged bird
Oh, it seems night endlessly begins and ends
Hey, I only want the same as anyone
And I deserve a little more
And all other instruments of faith and sex and God
Well I am the rain King
I belong in the service of the queen
When I think of Heaven
Henderson is waitin' for the sun
And I said, "Mama, mama, mama, why am I so alone?"
Well I said that I am the rain King
I belong anywhere but in between
She's been lyin' and I've been sinkin'
'Cos I've been there before
When I think of Heaven
Don't try to feed me
I belong anywhere but in between
Render up my body into the burnin' heart of God
And I am the rain King
I belong in the service of the queen
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
And I am the rain King
And I deserve a little more
'Cos I've been here before
Well I'm alive, I'm alive but I'm sinkin' in
Don't try to bleed me
