Lyric King Of The World

Hello one and all
Was it you I used to know
Can t you hear me call
On this old ham radio
All I got to say
I m alive and feeling fine
If you come my way
You can share my poison wine
CHORUS:
No marigolds in the promised land
There s 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 don t want your bread
I don t need your helping hand
I can t be no savage
I can t 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

I m reading last year s papers
Although I don t 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
There s no need to hide
Taking things the easy way
If I stay inside
I might live til Saturday

CHORUS
