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 bleed me. 'Cause I've been here before and I deserve a little more.
|
|
I belong in the service of a Queen. I belong anywhere but in between.
|
She's been lying. I've been thinking. And I am the Rain King.
|
|
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, darlin', 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 lying. I've been drinking. And I am the Rain King.
|
|
Well I said that I am the Rain King. Well I said, I, I, I, I, I, Yeah, yeah,
|
yeah, yeah, yeah, Well I am the Rain King. Yeeeeaaaah!
