Rain King Meaning
[[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] |
