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

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

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.....but I'm sinking in

If there's anyone 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
