* 8-bar intro
* Verse 1 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
'Cause I've been here before
And I deserve a little more.
* Chorus I belong in the service of the Queen.
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?
I can't go outside.
I'm scared I might not make it home,
But 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.
* Chorus 2 I belong in the service of the Queen.
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.
* 8-bar organ solo
* Verse 3 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.
* Chorus 3 I belong in the service of the queen.
I belong anywhere but in between.
She's been dying and I've been drinking
And I am the Rain King
I said that I am the Rain King.
I said I, I, I, I, I, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
Well, I am the Rai King.
