Rain King
Counting Crows Song Lyrics

Artist: Counting Crows
Album: August And Everything After (1993)

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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse]
And I said mama, mama, mama, why am I so alone
I can't go outside
I'm scared I might not make it home
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?
Don't try to bleed me
I've been there before
And I deserve a little more

[Chorus]
I belong in the service of the queen
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]
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

[Chorus]
I belong in the service of the queen
I belong anywhere but in between
She's been dying and I've been drinking
And I am the rain king
