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 in the belly of a black-winged bird.
    Don't try to feed me
    I've been here before and I deserve a little more

    I belong in the service of the Queen
    I belong anywhere but in between
    She's been crying, I've been thinking
    And I am the Rain King

    And I said mama, mama, mama, why am I so alone?
    I can't go outside
    I'm scared I might not make it home
    I'm alive, I'm alive but I'm sinking in
    If there's anyone at home at your place, darling
    Why don't you invite me in?
    Don't try to bleed me
    Cause I've been there before and I deserve a little more

    I belong in the service of the Queen
    I belong anywhere but in between
    She's been lying, I've been sinking
    And I am the Rain King

    Hey, I only want the same as anyone
    Henderson is waiting for the sun
    Oh, it seems night endlessly begins and ends
    After all the dreaming I come home again...

    When I think of heaven
    Deliver me in a black-winged bird
    I think of dying
    Lay me down in a field of flame and heather
    Render up my body into the burning heart of God in the belly of a black-winged bird
    Don't try to bleed me
    Cause I've been here before and I deserve a little more

    I belong in the service of the Queen
    I belong anywhere but in between
    She's been dying, I've been drinking
    And I am the Rain King
