When I think of heaven
When I think of heaven
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
I think of flying down into a sea of pens and feathers
I think of flying down into a sea of pens and feathers
And all other instruments of faith and sex and God
And all other instruments of faith and sex and God
In the belly of a black-winged bird
In the belly of a black-winged bird
Don't try to feed me
Don't try to feed me
'Cause I've been here before and I deserve a little more
'Cause I've been here before and I deserve a little more
I belong in the service of the Queen
I belong in the service of the Queen
I belong anywhere but in between
I belong anywhere but in between
She's been crying, I've been thinking
She's been crying, I've been thinking
And I am the rain king
And I am the rain king
I said mama, mama, mama
I said mom, mom, mom
Why am I so alone?
Why am I so alone?
I can't go outside, I'm scared, I might not make it home
I can't go outside, I'm scared, I might not make it home
But I'm alive, but I'm sinking in
But I'm alive, but I'm sinking in
If there's anyone home at your place
If there's anyone home at your place
Why don't you invite me in?
Why don't you invite me in?
Don't try to bleed me
Don't try to bleed me
'Cause I've been there before and I deserve a little more
'Cause I've been there before and I deserve a little more
I belong in the service of the Queen
I belong in the service of the Queen
I belong anywhere but in between
I belong anywhere but in between
She's been lying, I've been sinking
She's been lying, I've been sinking
And I am the rain king
And I am the rain king
Hey, I only want the same as anyone
Hey, I only want the same as anyone
Henderson is waiting for the sun
Henderson is waiting for the sun
it seems night endlessly begins and ends
it seems night endlessly begins and ends
After all the dreaming I come home again
After all the dreaming I come home again
When I think of heaven
When I think of heaven
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
Deliver me in a black-winged bird
I think of dying
I think of dying
Lay me down in a field of flame and heather
Lay me down in a field of flame and heather
Render up my body into the burning heart of God
Render up my body into the burning heart of God
In the belly of a black-winged bird
In the belly of a black-winged bird
Don't try to bleed me
Don't try to bleed me
'Cause I've been here before and I deserve a little more
'Cause I've been here before and I deserve a little more
I belong in the service of the Queen
I belong in the service of the Queen
I belong anywhere but in between
I belong anywhere but in between
She's been dying
She's been dying
And I've been drinking and I am the rain king
And I've been drinking and I am the rain king
'Cause I say I am the rain king
'Cause I say I am the rain king
'Cause I say I am the rain king, yeah
'Cause I say I am the rain king, yeah
