Lyrics

[00:19.33] I dreamed i did a good job and i got well paid
[00:24.96] Blew it all at the penny arcade
[00:33.24] A hundred dollars on a kewpie doll
[00:37.88] I guess no white chick is gonna make me crawl
[00:50.10] On a twa, to the promised land
[00:55.79] Every woman, child and man
[00:59.45] Gets a cadillac and a diamond ring
[01:07.01] Dont you know we're riding with the king?
[01:18.32] Hes on a mission of mercy to the new frontier
[01:23.80] Hes gonna check us all on out of here
[01:32.09] Up to that mansion on a hill
[01:36.84] Where you can get your prescription filled, any kind of pill
[01:48.95] On a twa to the promised land
[01:53.50] Everybody come on and clap your hands
[01:58.71] Dont you just love the way he sings
[02:06.17] Dont you know we're riding with the king?
[02:27.45] A red cape and shiny cold 45
[02:36.87] I never saw his face but i saw the light
[02:46.19] Tonight everybody's getting their angel wings
[02:53.25] Dont you know we're riding with the king?
[02:57.86] Well i stepped out of a mirror at ten years old
[03:00.99] With a suit cut sharp, as a razor and a heart of gold
[03:06.30] I had a guitar hanging just about waist high
[03:09.83] I'm gonna play that thing until the day i die
