When I think of heaven

Deliver me in a black-winged bird
A/C#         Bm  E A           D
I think of flying down into a sea of pens and
  A/C#
feathers
Bm            A               D                 A/C#
And all other instruments of faith and sex and God
                   Bm    E      A
In the belly of a black-winged bird.
Bm             G
Don't try to feed me
Bm        G
I've been here before
    D            E
And I deserve a little more

Chorus:
A   Bm  D        E              A
I belong in the service of the Queen
A   Bm  D     E              A
I belong anywhere but in between
A           Bm    D               E
She's been crying and I've been thinking
    A  Bm     D       E
And I am the Rain King

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?

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 lying and I've been sinking
And I am the rain king

Bm           D               A
Hey, I only want the same as anyone
Bm            D  A   Bm
Henderson is waiting for the sun
                              D         A
Oh, it seems night endlessly begins and ends
Bm              D              A
After all the dreaming I come home again

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 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 dying and I've been drinking
And I am the rain king

Well I said that "I am the rain king"
Well I said, "I, I, I, I, I, well
I am the rain king", yeah
