Source : the intro riff was transcribed in French magazine „Guitare & Clavier"-
Hors-série : Les Plus Grands Plans du Rock V
The annotation is the following (translated) :
"JLP is of one of the best songwriter of his generation. He has many fans
from Nick Cave to Henry Rollins via Noir Désir (great French band!)"
about the song : "the rhythmic of this song sounds like Robert Smith
(sic) ; the solo is absolutely great and shows influence from Coltrane."

Rain rain
rain the walls
Joan Miro's way
rain all this rain away,
I heard you're giving up
your dexadrine and pearls
so I slipped some love dust
in your Martini girl,
Oh my, you're mine,
I'm King St. John Divine
unhealthy queen
and king of town

Brother's in the hallway
Oh, insults that he hurls
I'm standing candles
trying to visualize you girl,
Oh my, you're mine,
I'm King St. John Divine
unhealthy queen
who's the king of town?
Rain Rain
streets and towns
bands are playin'
oh, Sir Douglas rain,
I'm setting up an alter [sic]
and yes, I snipped your curls
I'm practicing voodoo
in the bedroom on you girl,
Oh my, you're mine,
I'm King St. John Divine
unhealthy queen
and king of town
