King of Pain (MTV unplugged) Songtext
von Alanis Morissette

There′s a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday
There′s a black hat caught in a high tree top
There's a flag pole rag and the wind won't stop

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running ′round my brain
I guess I′m always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it′s my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a fossil that′s trapped in a high cliff wall (That's my soul up there)
There′s a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall (That's my soul up there)
There's a blue whale beached by the springtide′s ebb (That′s my soul up there)
There's a butterfly trapped in a spider′s web


I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I′m always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it′s my destiny to be the king of pain

There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out
There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt
There′s a rich man sleeping on a golden bed
There′s a skeleton choking on a crust of bread

There's a red fox torn by a huntsman′s pack
There's a black winged gull with a broken back
There′s a little black spot on the sun today
It's the same old thing as yesterday

I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running ′round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it′s my destiny to be the queen of pain

Queen of pain, I′ll always be
Queen of pain, I'll always be
Queen of pain
