'Cos I've been here before
When I think of Heaven
And I said, "Mama, mama, mama, why am I so alone?"
Don't try to feed me
I belong anywhere but in between
She's been lyin' and I've been sinkin'
And I am the rain King
'Cos I've been here before
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
When I think of Heaven

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