Rain King by Counting Crows

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
'Cause 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 cryin', I've been thinkin'
And I am the Rain King

I said Mama, Mom, why am I so alone
I can't go outside 'cause I'm scared that I might not make it home
I'm alive and I'm sinkin' in, there's anyone home at your place, darlin'
Please invite me in, don't try to plead me
Because I've been there before and I deserve a little more

I belong in the service of the Queen
And I belong anywhere but in between
She's been lyin' thats keep sinkin'
And I am the Rain King

And I only want the same as anyone
Mr. Hendersons keeps waitin' for the sun
Oh, it seems night endlessly begins and ends
And ends and begins and ends
After all the dreamin', I just want to come back home again

So every little bit fish that serves you
You gonna sink in down, oh well underground
And I know I'll let her think that she does to me feels so good
I said every little bit of run along
[Incomprehensible] every little thing that I mismake refuses me

God still knows you well, I swear
But when I think of Heaven
So when I think of heaven
Oh when I think of Heaven
I think of you, do you think of me too?

So when I think of Heaven, deliver me in a black-winged bird
I think of dyin', well come on and lay me down
In a field of flame and heather
Surrender up my body into the burnin' heart of God
And in the belly of a black-winged bird, don't try to plead me
'Cause 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 dyin', I've been drinkin'
And I am the Rain King

I said that I am the Rain King
Oh I said, "Good night Elizabeth
I'm so sorry now, but I'm the Rain King
So why don't you come here out of the rain?"
