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
