Lyrics Icehouse – The Kingdom
Text:
One of those days
that just comes and goes
it’s not so special
she watches the birds
outside her room
the wallpaper old and faded
a crack in the window pane
the radio just keeps playing
playing that same old song.
She smiles to herself
«they think that I’m strange…
…they say I’m a dreamer
…but I don’t complain,
though I don’t have much
to call my own.»
and she’s not a movie star, no
and she’s not a beauty queen
she’ll tell you it doesn’t matter
’cause she’s not the only one
she says,
«I know a place
where I keep the best of things
I’m not gonna wait
for my piece of heaven.
Where there’s a road
it leads to the promised land
I just turn the key
the key to the
…kingdom…»
She stares at the page
of a new magazine, the morning papers
she walks into town
and catches a show
if she can find the time
and she’s not a movie star, no
and she’s not a beauty queen
she’ll tell you it doesn’t matter
’cause she’s not the only one.
she says,
«I know a place
where I keep the best of things
I’m not gonna wait
for my piece of heaven
where there’s a road
it leads to the promised land
I just turn the key
the key to the
…kingdom…»
