ADRIAN BELEW - PEACEABLE KINGDOM lyrics

When I wake up in my tree

wake up in my bedroom tree

a little girl and a parakeet

are singing to me

My, oh my, what a peaceable kingdom

why would I ever wanna leave

leave a peaceable kingdom

And when I wake up on the floor

on the carpeted forest floor

all of the squirrels in their conifers

are saying to me

My, oh my, even if you had set of wings

why would you ever wanna fly

from a peaceable kingdom

oh my, oh my, what a peaceable kingdom

why would I ever wanna leave

leave a peaceable kingdom

It's quiet a night

when the monkeys retire

so we lay down our faces

by the fireplace

and sing softly

what a peaceable kingdom
