King of The World Lyrics
The song King of The World is performed by Joe Jackson .
Send King of The World Ringtone to your Cell
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
Should you come my way, you can share my poison wine
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 won't take your bread, I don't need no 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
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'm reading last year's papers
Although I don't know why
a*sa*sins, cons and rapers
Might as well die
When 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 till Saturday
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
King of the world as far as I know
