Tonight We'll Be Kings

Written by Russell Morris

I've got a smile so wide, I can hardly contain myself

Strutting like I own the world

Looking at you there by my side wearing those fancy pearls

All of us out in the open

Breathing in the evening air

Me and my top hat in all of our finest

Let's play a little ??? while we're here

Russell Morris/Rick Springfield chorus

Oh tonight, oh tonight it begins

Tomorrow we'll be dust but tonight, tonight we'll be kings

I drag myself down to the edge of the river

I wash that dirt from my hands

I paint my face black, red and purple

Feeling like a brand new man

I look at each of you going, going to the ones that we love

They've opened the gates of this overgrown city

And I said God Bless God

Russell Morris/Rick Springfield chorus

Oh tonight, oh tonight it begins

For tomorrow we'll be dust but tonight, tonight we'll be kings

I've got my invitation, right here in my hand

Could open the gates of the city to every child, woman, and man

When the gold lady woke again I'm feeling alive

I'm projecting a mysterious air

To the crushing mountains we all have come

To the valleys of the winds we've beared

I can tell by the look there in your eyes

You've been completely overcome

I feel a little that way now for myself

Lets make the most before it is gone

Russell Morris/Rick Springfield chorus

Oh tonight, oh tonight it begins

For tomorrow we'll be dust but tonight, tonight we'll be kings

Oh tonight, oh tonight it begins

For tomorrow we'll be dust but tonight, tonight we'll be kings

We'll be kings
