The Doors - The Peking King And New York Queen |
| [00:04.64] |
|
| [00:29.49] |
Well, I heard a story you can judge it's worth |
| [00:33.12] |
|
| [00:35.96] |
About the sun and the moon |
| [00:37.66] |
|
| [00:37.92] |
This time they came down to earth |
| [00:41.25] |
|
| [00:42.88] |
They passed in the heavens each day up above |
| [00:46.18] |
|
| [00:46.58] |
Time after time and it soon became love |
| [00:49.45] |
|
| [00:49.73] |
They could not touch, they could not kiss |
| [00:52.24] |
|
| [00:52.62] |
They had no flesh, no earthly bliss |
| [00:59.29] |
|
| [01:02.13] |
So they made a scheme, they made a plan |
| [01:05.29] |
|
| [01:08.87] |
They would come down to earth as a woman and a man |
| [01:14.26] |
|
| [01:15.32] |
She rode a lunar wave, he flew a solar beam |
| [01:18.47] |
|
| [01:21.51] |
They took on human forms to live out a dream |
| [01:26.71] |
|
| [01:28.10] |
The most beautiful people that I've ever seen |
| [01:34.38] |
|
| [01:34.69] |
They were the Peking King and the New York Queen |
| [01:39.37] |
|
| [01:40.87] |
I said the Peking King and the New York Queen. |
| [01:46.61] |
|
| [01:54.70] |
As fate would have it in the toss of the dice |
| [01:57.32] |
|
| [02:00.23] |
They went to opposite ends of this world of our lives |
| [02:04.60] |
|
| [02:06.97] |
Opposite eyes, opposite minds |
| [02:11.19] |
|
| [02:13.47] |
Such things matter in these troubled times. |
| [02:19.66] |
|
| [02:43.26] |
Peking in the East and New York in the West |
| [02:51.98] |
|
| [02:53.30] |
Each place thought that it was the best |
| [02:58.32] |
|
| [02:58.92] |
But the sun and the moon on their earthly quest |
| [03:02.15] |
|
| [03:02.48] |
Knew without a doubt that it was all the best |
| [03:05.34] |
|
| [03:05.68] |
They said what does it matter how you read a book |
| [03:08.82] |
|
| [03:09.14] |
It's all the same no matter how it looks. |
| [03:14.70] |
|
| [03:28.70] |
Well the only thing important to the Peking King |
| [03:34.84] |
|
| [03:35.40] |
Was bein' in the arms of his New York Queen |
| [03:41.39] |
|
| [03:42.32] |
Thousand of miles, they were so far apart |
| [03:48.29] |
|
| [03:49.39] |
How to get together? Oh, where to start? |
| [03:55.30] |
|
| [03:55.58] |
On the California Zephyr and the Shanghai Express |
| [04:02.15] |
|
| [04:02.39] |
He headed to Hong Kong, she headed out west. |
| [04:08.37] |
|
| [04:17.53] |
No passports, no visas, no government quotas |
| [04:21.86] |
|
| [04:23.77] |
No secret missile sites in South Dakota |
| [04:29.60] |
|
| [04:30.12] |
No red tape, no red guard could stop the dream |
| [04:36.47] |
|
| [04:36.74] |
Of the Peking King and the New York Queen |
| [04:39.97] |
|
| [04:42.78] |
I said, the Peking King and the New York Queen |
| [04:48.83] |
|
| [04:49.26] |
Well they found a little island in the Phillipines |
| [04:52.53] |
|
| [04:55.62] |
It was a perfect little place to live out a dream |
| [05:01.93] |
|
| [05:02.15] |
They say East is East, West is West |
| [05:05.23] |
|
| [05:08.12] |
They say the twain won't meet, but don't you take that bet |
| [05:12.54] |
|
| [05:14.50] |
'Cause you're invited to a wedding and to share the dream |
| [05:23.43] |
|
| [05:24.13] |
Of the Peking King and the New York Queen |
| [05:26.68] |
|
| [05:27.54] |
The Peking King and the New York Queen. |
| [05:33.36] |
|
| [05:33.70] |
|
| [05:39.94] |
'Cause you're invited to a wedding and to share the dream |
| [05:46.80] |
|
| [05:46.34] |
'Cause you're invited to a wedding and to share the dream |
| [05:52.56] |
|
| [05:52.99] |
Of the Peking King and the New York Queen |
| [05:58.87] |
|
| [05:59.30] |
The Peking King and the New York Queen. |
| [06:10.82] |
|
| [06:11.59] |
You're invited to the wedding of the sun and the moon |
