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]
