King of The World — текст песни (Joe Jackson)

Hello one and all

Was it you I used to know

Cant you hear me call

On this old ham radio

All I got to say Im alive and feeling fine

If you come my way

You can share my poison wine



No marigolds in the promised land

Theres a hole in the ground

Where they used to grow

Any man left on the rio grande

Is the king of the world

As far as I know



I dont want your bread

I dont need your helping hand

I cant be no savage

I cant be no highwayman

Show me where you are

You and I will spend this day

Driving in my car

Through the ruins of santa fe



No marigolds in the promised land

Theres a hole in the ground

Where they used to grow

Any man left on the rio grande

Is the king of the world

As far as I know



Im reading last years papers

Although I dont know why

Assassins cons and rapers

Might as well die



If you come around

No more pain and no regrets

Watch the sun go brown

Smoking cobalt cigarettes

Theres no need to hide

Taking things the easy way

If I stay inside

I might live til saturday



No marigolds in the promised land

Theres a hole in the ground

Where they used to grow

Any man left on the rio grande

Is the king of the world

As far as I know
