Peaceable Kingdom
ADRIAN BELEW
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
