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 and 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?

Alternate Lyrics: So come on gimme' a set of keys or something

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 lying

I've been sinking

And I am the Rain King

Hey I only want the same as anyone

Henderson i s 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

Alternate Lyrics: I said I am the Rain King

So I said goodnight Elisabeth I'm so sorry now

But I am the Rain King
