Sting and The Police - King Of Pain

King of Pain: Artist: The Police; Album: ¡Released! The Human Rights Concerts - A Conspiracy of Hope (Live From New Jersey/1986), 2013; Lyrics:

There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop

I have stood here before (in the pouring rain)
With the world turning circles (running 'round my brain)
I guess I'm always hoping (that you'll end this reign)
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a little black spot on the sun today
(That's my soul up there)
It's the same old thing as yesterday
(That's my soul up there)
There's a black hat caught in a high tree top
(That's my soul up there)
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop
(That's my soul up there)

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I always hope that you will end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a fossil that's trapped in a high cliff wall
(That's my soul up there)
There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall
(That's my soul up there)
There's a blue whale beached by a springtime's ebb
(That's my soul up there)
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web
(That's my soul up there)

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I always hope that you could end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread

(Guitar Solo)

There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack
(That's my soul up there)
There's a black-winged gull with a broken back
(That's my soul up there)
There's a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday

Oh, I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I always thought you could end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain

King of pain
King of pain
King of pain
King of pain

King of pain, always be
I'll always be
I'll always be
I'll always be

I'll always be
Always be
Always be
Always

I'll always, always, always, always, always be

King of pain, yeah
King of pain
King of pain
King of pain

Always be
I'll always be
Always be
Always be

Always be
One, two...

I'll always be king of pain
