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)

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)

Where there's a road
It leads to the promised land (kingdom)
I just turn the key
Key to the kingdom (kingdom)
