When I think of heaven
Bm A D
Deliver me in a black-winged bird

In the belly of a black-winged bird

Don't try to feed me
Bm G
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

And I am the Rain King

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
Bm A
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

In the belly of a black-winged bird

And I am the Rain King

I said good night Elisabeth

I'm so sorry now

but I am the rain king

So why don't you come in out of the rain
