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 been crying, 
I been thinking yeah 
And I am the Rain King 

Well I said Mama Mama Mama 
Why Am I so alone? 
I can’t go outside, 
Because I am scared that I might not make it home 
I’m alive 
Just sinking in 
Is anyone home at your place? 
Please invite me in 
Don’t try to bleed me 
Cuz look, I been there before 
And I deserve a little more 

I belong in the service of the Queen 
I belong anywhere but in between 
She been lying 
Ohhh oh I been sinking 
And I am the Rain King 

Hey I only want the same as anyone 
Mr Henderson’s waiting for the sun 
All it seems all it seems night endlessly begins and end and ends and ends and ends 
After all my dreaming I just want to come back home again 

Slip away 
Slip away now now my darling 
Come on down on me 
Slip away, I can feel it 
I can feel it all; I can feel it all slip away 
From me 
Come on down come on down 
Sing a song for me darling 
I can feel it all slip away 
From me 
Come on down come on down 
And sing a song for me darling 
Uhm ah 
I can feel it all 
I want to feel it all I want to feel it all I want to feel it all slip away 

Come on say la la la la 
Come on say la la la la 
Come on say la la la la 
I don’t want to feel it slip away 

So come on say la la la la 
Come on say la la la la 
Come on say la la la 
I don’t want to feel it slip away 

Come on say la la la la 
La la la la 
La la la la 
I don’t want to feel it slip away 

So come on say la la la la 
La la la 
I don’t want to I don’t want to I don’t want to I don’t want to I don’t want to 
Feel it slipping away 

When I, when I think of heaven 
When I think of heaven yeah 
When I think of heaven 
God girl you know I just think of you 
Do you think of me too? 

I said when I think of heaven 
Come on deliver me in a black-winged bird 
I think of dying 
Come on lay me down in a field of flame and heather 
Render up my my my my my body 
In to the burning heart of God 
Oh the belly of a black-winged bird 
Don’t try to bleed me 
Cuz I have been here before 
And I deserve a little more 

I belong in the service of the Queen 
I belong anywhere but in between 
She been dying 
I’ve been drinking now 
And I am the Rain King 
I said that I am the Rain King 
Come on down, oh, sing a song for me darling 
I don’t want to feel it slip away 
But I am the Rain King 
So why don’t you come in out of the rain?
