Lyrics
0:12When I think of heaven
0:16Deliver me in a black-winged bird
0:20I think of flying down into a sea of pens and feathers
0:27And all other instruments of faith and s*x and God
0:32In the belly of a black-winged bird
0:37Don't try to feed me
0:40I've been here before and I deserve a little more
0:46I belong in the service of the Queen I belong anywhere but in between
0:58She's been crying I've been thinking And I am the Rain King
1:11Mama why am I so alone
1:16I can't go outside
1:18I'm scared I might not make it home
1:21I'm alive but I'm sinking in
1:28If there's anyone at home at your place
1:30Why don't you invite me in
1:35Don't try to bleed me
1:38I've been there before and I deserve a little more
1:44I belong in the service of the Queen
1:50I belong anywhere but in between
1:56She's been lying
1:59I've been sinking
2:01And I am the Rain King
2:09Hey I only want the same as anyone
2:15Henderson is waiting for the sun
2:21Oh it seems night endlessly begins and ends
2:27After all the dreaming I come home again
2:44When I think of heaven
2:48Deliver me in a black-winged bird
2:52I think of dying Lay me down in a field of flame and heather
3:00Render up my body into the burning heart of God in the belly of a black-winged bird
3:08Don't try to bleed me
3:12I've been here before and I deserve a little more
3:20I belong in the service of the Queen
3:26I belong anywhere but in between
3:35She's been dying
3:43I been drinking and I am the Rain King
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 s*x 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 Mama why am I so alone I can't go outside I'm scared I might not make it home I'm alive but I'm sinking in If there's anyone at home at your place Why don't you invite me in Don't try to bleed me 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 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 been drinking and I am the Rain King
