The Lilac Time
Текст песни The King And Queen Of The Carioca

The life is simple, never sinful
Never under, understand
It's all so painful, non-eventful
We can't work it, work it out
But we're early birds
And it's our turn, turn, turn again

The King and Queen of the Carioca
Dancing cheek to cheek
The King and Queen of the Carioca
The dark end of a street
Do we need to grow so tall?
And long for the King and Queen of the Carioca?

I was hungry, I was thirsty
Many times I, I have died
But you helped me, you vote for charity
You fight against the, all the lies
'Cause we're early birds
And the times they are a-changing

The King and Queen of the Carioca
Dancing cheek to cheek
The King and Queen of the Carioca
The dark end of a street
Do we need to grow so tall?
And long for the King and Queen of the Carioca?

I saw myself die
As the band went on playing
And Jesus returned
And we carried on praying
And though we say 'no'
We carry on slaying

Do we need to grow so tall?
And long for the King and Queen of the Carioca?
