Icehouse - 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) And where there's a road 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)
