Key to the kingdom
She stares at the page
Where there's a road
For my piece of heaven"
She's not a beauty queen
And catches a show
If she can find the time
She'll tell you it doesn't matter
And where there's a road
"And where there's a road
Where I keep the best of things
I just turn the key
She'll tell you it doesn't matter
I'm not gonna wait
She watches the birds
I know a place
I just turn the key
She says, "I know a place
The morning papers
The radio just keeps playing
For my piece of heaven"
She's not the only one
The wallpaper old and faded
She's not a movie star, no
It leads to the promised land
Though I don't have much
Key to the kingdom"
It leads to the promised land
She smiles to herself
Key to the kingdom"
Where there's a road
But I don't complain
I know a place
"And where there's a road
For my piece of heaven
To call my own
They say I'm a dreamer
A crack in the window pane
I know a place
Playing that same old song
For my piece of heaven
Key to the kingdom
I'm not gonna wait
For my piece of heaven
Leads to the promised land
Where I keep the best of things
She's not a movie star, no
Outside her room
I'm not gonna wait
She walks into town
Where I keep the best of things
I'm not gonna wait
She's not a beauty queen
I just turn the key
Leads to the promised land
Where I keep the best of things
Where I keep the best of things
She's not the only one
I just turn the key
I'm not gonna wait
Shat rest on a ledge
They think that I'm strange
It's not so special
Of a new magazine
She says, "I know a place
Leads to the promised land
I just turn the key
