The Peking King And The New York Queen Lyrics - Other Voices/full Circle - The Doors

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
