Well I walked in the pouring rain
And I heard a voice that cries
"It's all in vain"
The voice of doom
Was shining in my room
I just need one day
Somewhere far away
Lord I just need one day
Well I'll be breaking these rocks
And cutting this hay
Yes I'll be breaking these rocks
What's my price to pay? [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/d/david_bowie/kingdom_come.html ]
Well the river's so muddy,
But it may come clear
And I know too well what's keeping me here
I'm just the slave of a burning ray
Oh give me the night,
I can't take another sight
Please, please give me the night
[CHORUS]
Sun keeps beating down on me, wall's a mile high
Up in the tower they're watching me hoping I'm gonna die
I won't be breaking no rocks
I said "I won't be breaking no rocks"
(I won't be breaking no rocks)
(I won't be breaking no rocks)
(I won't be breaking no rocks)
When the kingdom comes
