Counting Crows

Counting Crows - Rain King (Susanna Alt)

[Verse 1]
When I think of Heaven, deliver me in a black-winged bird
I think of flying down in your sea of pens and feathers
And all other instruments of faith and sex and God
In the belly of a black-winged bird

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't try to feed me
'Cause I've been here before
And I deserve a little more

[Chorus]
And I belong in the service of the queen
And I belong anywhere but in between
She's been crying and I've been thinking
And I am the rain king

[Verse 2]
And I said, "Mama, mama, mama, why am I so alone"
'Cause 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, darling
Why don't you invite me in?

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't try to feed me
'Cause I've been here before
And I deserve a little more
