[Verse 1]

When I think of Heaven, deliver me in a black-winged bird

I think of flying down in your sea of pens and feathers

And all other instruments of faith and sex and God

In the belly of a black-winged bird

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't try to feed me

'Cause I've been here before

And I deserve a little more

[Chorus]

And I belong in the service of the queen

And I belong anywhere but in between

She's been crying and I've been thinking

And I am the Rain King

[Verse 2]

And I said, "Mama, mama, mama, why am I so alone"

'Cause I can't go outside, I'm scared I might not make it home

Well 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?

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't try to feed me

'Cause I've been here before

And I deserve a little more

[Chorus]

And I belong in the service of the queen

And I belong anywhere but in between

She's been lying and I've been sinking

And I am the Rain King

[Bridge]

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

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

Don't try to bleed me

'Cause I've been here before

And I deserve a little more

[Chorus]

And I belong in the service of the queen

And I belong anywhere but in between

She's been dying and I've been drinking

And I am the Rain King

[Outro]

Well I said that "I am the Rain King"

Well I said, "I, I, I, I, I, well I am the Rain King", yeah
