Blew it all at the penny arcade
A hundred dollars on a kewpie doll
I guess no white chick is gonna make me crawl
On a twa, to the promised land
Every woman, child and man
Gets a cadillac and a diamond ring
Don't you know we're riding with the king?
Hes on a mission of mercy to the new frontier
Hes gonna check us all on out of here
Up to that mansion on a hill
Where you can get your prescription filled
On a twa to the promised land
Everybody come on and clap your hands
Don't you just love the way he sings
Don't you know we're riding with the king?
A red cape and shiny cold 45
I never saw his face but I saw the light
Tonight everybody's getting their angel wings
Don't you know we're riding with the king?
Well I stepped out of a mirror at ten years old
With a suit cut sharp, as a razor and a heart of gold
I had a guitar hanging just about waist high
I'm gonna play that thing until the day I die
I dreamed I did a good job and I got well paid Blew it all at the penny arcade A hundred dollars on a kewpie doll I guess no white chick is gonna make me crawl On a twa, to the promised land Every woman, child and man Gets a cadillac and a diamond ring Don't you know we're riding with the king? Hes on a mission of mercy to the new frontier Hes gonna check us all on out of here Up to that mansion on a hill Where you can get your prescription filled On a twa to the promised land Everybody come on and clap your hands Don't you just love the way he sings Don't you know we're riding with the king? A red cape and shiny cold 45 I never saw his face but I saw the light Tonight everybody's getting their angel wings Don't you know we're riding with the king? Well I stepped out of a mirror at ten years old With a suit cut sharp, as a razor and a heart of gold I had a guitar hanging just about waist high I'm gonna play that thing until the day I die Explain Request ×
