The Kingdom
One of those days that just comes and goes
It's not so special
She watches the birds
That rest on a ledge 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
She's not a movie star, no
She's not a beauty queen
She'll tell you it doesn't matter
She's not the only one
She says: I know a place
Where I keep the best of things (kingdom)
I'm not gonna wait
For my piece of heaven (kingdom)
And where there's a road
Leads to the promised land (kingdom)
I just turn the key
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
She's not a movie star, no
She's not a beauty queen
She'll tell you it doesn't matter
She's not the only one
She says: I know a place
Where I keep the best of things (kingdom)
I'm not gonna wait
For my piece of heaven (kingdom)
And where there's a road
Leads to the promised land (kingdom)
I just turn the key
Key to the kingdom
I know a place
Where I keep the best of things (kingdom)
I'm not gonna wait
For my piece of heaven (kingdom)
Where there's a road
It leads to the promised land (kingdom)
I just turn the key
Key to the kingdom (kingdom)
I know a place
Where I keep the best of things (kingdom)
I'm not gonna wait
For my piece of heaven (kingdom)
Where there's a road
It leads to the promised land (kingdom)
I just turn the key
Key to the kingdom (kingdom)
I know a place
Where I keep the best of things (kingdom)
I'm not gonna wait
For my piece of heaven (kingdom)
Where there's a road
It leads to the promised land (kingdom)
I just turn the key
Key to the kingdom (kingdom)
