the peking king and the new york queen

Singer:doors, the

well

i heard a story you can judge it's worth

about the sun and the moon

this time they came down to earth

they passed in the heavens each day up above

time after time and it soon became love

they could not touch

they could not kiss

they had no flesh

no earthly bliss

so they made a scheme

they made a plan

they would come down to earth as a woman and a man

she rode a lunar wave

he flew a solar beam

they took on human forms to live out a dream

the most beautiful people that i've ever seen

they were the peking king and the new york queen

i said the peking king and the new york queen. as fate would have it in the toss of the dice

they went to opposite ends of this world of our lives

opposite eyes

opposite minds

such things matter in these troubled times. peking in the east and new york in the west

each place thought that it was the best

but the sun and the moon on their earthly quest

knew without a doubt that it was all the best

they said what does it matter how you read a book

it's all the same no matter how it looks. well the only thing important to the peking king

was bein' in the arms of his new york queen

thousand of miles

they were so far apart

how to get together? oh

where to start?

on the california zephyr and the shanghai express

he headed to hong kong

she headed out west. no passports

no visas

no government quotas

no secret missile sites in south dakota

no red tape

no red guard could stop the dream

of the peking king and the new york queen

i said

the peking king and the new york queen

well they found a little island in the phillipines

it was a perfect little place to live out a dream

they say east is east

west is west

they say the twain won't meet

but don't you take that bet

'cause you're invited to a wedding and to share the dream

of the peking king and the new york queen

the peking king and the new york queen. 'cause you're invited to a wedding and to share the dream

'cause you're invited to a wedding and to share the dream

of the peking king and the new york queen

the peking king and the new york queen. you're invited to the wedding of the sun and the moon
