Counting Crows - Rain King Lyrics

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,
I've been thinking,
And I am the Rain King

Well I said,
"Mama, mama, mama,
Why am I so alone?"
Well, 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 darlin'
Why don't you invite me in?
Don't try to bleed 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 lying
I've been sinking
And I am the Rain King

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...

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
'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 dying,
And I've been drinking,
And I am the Rain King.

Well I said that I am the Rain King...
