King Of The World
Hello one and allWas 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
[chorus]
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
Chorus
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
Chorus
