<b>Kingdom</b> by <i>Icehouse</i><br />Icehouse - Kingdom

That just comes and goes

It's not so special

She watches the birds

Shat 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

I'm not gonna wait

For my piece of heaven"

"And where there's a road

Leads to the promised land

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

I'm not gonna wait

For my piece of heaven"

"And where there's a road

Leads to the promised land

I just turn the key

Key to the kingdom"

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

Key to the kingdom

I know a place

Where I keep the best of things

I'm not gonna wait

For my piece of heaven

And where there's a road

Leads to the promised land

I just turn the key

Key to the kingdom

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

Key to the kingdom
