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
 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
 Assassins, 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
