The Kingdom Lyrics - Icehouse

One of those days 

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
