The Kingdom - Icehouse

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.»

And she’s not a movie star, no

And she’s not a beauty queen

She’ll tell you it doesn’t matter

'cause 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

Where there’s a road

It leads to the promised land

I just turn the key

The 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

And she’s not a movie star, no

And she’s not a beauty queen

She’ll tell you it doesn’t matter

'cause 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

Where there’s a road

It leads to the promised land

I just turn the key

The key to the

…kingdom…»
