Keys to the Kingdom Lyrics

She came inside so exhausted
Dropped the keys by the bed
Some where far away from here
Never hearing what is said
Dreaming of a better life
She'll get there if it kills her in the end
The keys to the kingdom
Shining just around the bend


He gives her everything she wanted
But she's forgotten what she needs
Comfort in the empty spaces
Filing up with luxury
She leaves him for another fool
One for you, two for me she counts
The keys to the kingdom
Cost enough to clean you out

Reflections in the mirror
Oh so jaded, oh so proud
She loves the keys
She thought she found
Now there gone, long gone, gone gone gone

Reflections in the mirror
Oh so jaded, oh so proud
She loves the keys
She thought she found

Standing on the highest mountain
Feeling small and all alone
Taking in the majesty
What she saw, we'll never know
Hollow as the wind she breathes
Stepping out she dreams of coming down
The keys to the kingdom
Weigh enough to make you drown

And now she's gone
Now she's gone

The Band of Heathens are an Americana band from Austin, Texas.

The three principal songwriters - Colin Brooks, Ed Jurdi and Gordy Quist - shared the bill at Momo's, an Austin club. Originally, each singer/songwriter performed his own set. However, they eventually started sharing the stage, and collaborating together with bassist Seth Whitney. The Wednesday night series was billed as "The Good Time Supper Club". A misprint in a local paper billed the act as "The Heathens." In 2007, drummer John Chipman joined the band.

In 2009, the band was nominated for a "New Emerging Artist" award by the Americana Music Association. In 2010, the band was again honored by the Americana Music Association as nominees for the "Best Duo/Group of the Year". Read more on Last.fm.
