[00:03.71]The Doors - The Peking King And New York Queen
[00:04.64]
[00:29.49]Well, I heard a story you can judge it's worth
[00:33.12]
[00:35.96]About the sun and the moon
[00:37.66]
[00:37.92]This time they came down to earth
[00:41.25]
[00:42.88]They passed in the heavens each day up above
[00:46.18]
[00:46.58]Time after time and it soon became love
[00:49.45]
[00:49.73]They could not touch, they could not kiss
[00:52.24]
[00:52.62]They had no flesh, no earthly bliss
[00:59.29]
[01:02.13]So they made a scheme, they made a plan
[01:05.29]
[01:08.87]They would come down to earth as a woman and a man
[01:14.26]
[01:15.32]She rode a lunar wave, he flew a solar beam
[01:18.47]
[01:21.51]They took on human forms to live out a dream
[01:26.71]
[01:28.10]The most beautiful people that I've ever seen
[01:34.38]
[01:34.69]They were the Peking King and the New York Queen
[01:39.37]
[01:40.87]I said the Peking King and the New York Queen.
[01:46.61]
[01:54.70]As fate would have it in the toss of the dice
[01:57.32]
[02:00.23]They went to opposite ends of this world of our lives
[02:04.60]
[02:06.97]Opposite eyes, opposite minds
[02:11.19]
[02:13.47]Such things matter in these troubled times.
[02:19.66]
[02:43.26]Peking in the East and New York in the West
[02:51.98]
[02:53.30]Each place thought that it was the best
[02:58.32]
[02:58.92]But the sun and the moon on their earthly quest
[03:02.15]
[03:02.48]Knew without a doubt that it was all the best
[03:05.34]
[03:05.68]They said what does it matter how you read a book
[03:08.82]
[03:09.14]It's all the same no matter how it looks.
[03:14.70]
[03:28.70]Well the only thing important to the Peking King
[03:34.84]
[03:35.40]Was bein' in the arms of his New York Queen
[03:41.39]
[03:42.32]Thousand of miles, they were so far apart
[03:48.29]
[03:49.39]How to get together? Oh, where to start?
[03:55.30]
[03:55.58]On the California Zephyr and the Shanghai Express
[04:02.15]
[04:02.39]He headed to Hong Kong, she headed out west.
[04:08.37]
[04:17.53]No passports, no visas, no government quotas
[04:21.86]
[04:23.77]No secret missile sites in South Dakota
[04:29.60]
[04:30.12]No red tape, no red guard could stop the dream
[04:36.47]
[04:36.74]Of the Peking King and the New York Queen
[04:39.97]
[04:42.78]I said, the Peking King and the New York Queen
[04:48.83]
[04:49.26]Well they found a little island in the Phillipines
[04:52.53]
[04:55.62]It was a perfect little place to live out a dream
[05:01.93]
[05:02.15]They say East is East, West is West
[05:05.23]
[05:08.12]They say the twain won't meet, but don't you take that bet
[05:12.54]
[05:14.50]'Cause you're invited to a wedding and to share the dream
[05:23.43]
[05:24.13]Of the Peking King and the New York Queen
[05:26.68]

[05:33.36]
[05:33.70]
[05:39.94]'Cause you're invited to a wedding and to share the dream
[05:46.80]
[05:46.34]'Cause you're invited to a wedding and to share the dream
