Lyrics of The Kingdom by ICEHOUSE
verse
One of those days
That just comes and goes
It's not so special
verse
She watches the birds
That rest on a ledge
Outside her room
verse
The wallpaper old and faded
A crack in the window pane
The radio just keeps playing
Playing that same old song
verse
She smiles to herself
They think that I'm strange
They say I'm a dreamer
verse
But I don't complain
Though I don't have much
To call my own
pre-chorus
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
chorus
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)
chorus
"And where there's a road
Leads to the promised land (kingdom)
I just turn the key
Key to the kingdom"
verse
She stares at the page
Of a new magazine
The morning papers
verse
She walks into town
And catches a show
If she can find the time
pre-chorus
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
chorus
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)
chorus
"And where there's a road
Leads to the promised land (kingdom)
I just turn the key
Key to the kingdom"
chorus
I know a place
Where I keep the best of things (kingdom)
I'm not gonna wait
For my piece of heaven (kingdom)
chorus
Where there's a road
It leads to the promised land (kingdom)
I just turn the key
Key to the kingdom (kingdom)
chorus
I know a place
Where I keep the best of things (kingdom)
I'm not gonna wait
For my piece of heaven (kingdom)
chorus
And where there's a road
Leads to the promised land (kingdom)
I just turn the key
Key to the kingdom (kingdom)
chorus
I know a place
Where I keep the best of things (kingdom)
I'm not gonna wait
For my piece of heaven (kingdom)
chorus
Where there's a road
It leads to the promised land (kingdom)
I just turn the key
Key to the kingdom (kingdom)
