Guess I got lucky
That God didn't take me away
Administered to by flunkies
And baptised every day
But I think I've got it figured
I've fallen into hell somehow
So tell those vacant visitors
That this is my kingdom now
They line the hallways
A column made of bones
I pull their strings sideways
And wheel them about in their thrones
And I know this can't be paradise
That much the angels will allow
So tell those shuffing shadows
That this is my kingdom now
I was sure that I could hear applause
And that I should take a bow
But no-one seems to care in here
That this is my kingdom now
Guess I got lucky
That God didn't take me away
I motion like a monkey
And hope somebody sees me today
And the peasants from the village
They have brought their horse and plough
So I turn my face to the radio
And say 'this is my kingdom now'
