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 of the Rio Grande 
Is the king of the world 
King of the world as far as I know 
 
You know it is.....THANKS! ([email protected])
