Wheat Kings Lyrics Sung by The Tragically Hip Sundown in the Paris of the prairies Wheat kings have all treasures buried
Wheat Kings Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sundown in the Paris of the prairies
Wheat kings have all treasures buried
And all you hear are the rusty breezes
Pushing around the weathervane Jesus
[Verse 2]
In his Zippo lighter he sees the killer’s face
Maybe it’s someone standing in a killer’s place
Twenty years for nothing, well, that’s nothing new
Besides, no one’s interested in something you didn’t do
[Chorus]
Wheat kings and pretty things
Let’s just see what the morning brings
[Verse 3]
There’s a dream he dreams where the high school’s dead and stark
It’s a museum and we’re all locked up in it after dark
Where the walls are lined all yellow, grey and sinister
Hung with pictures of our parents’ prime ministers
[Chorus]
Wheat kings and pretty things
Wait and see what tomorrow brings

[Verse 4]
Late breaking story on the CBC
A nation whispers, “We always knew that he’d go free”
They add, “You can’t be fond of living in the past
Cause if you are then there’s no way that you’re going to last”
[Chorus]
Wheat kings and pretty things
Let’s just see what tomorrow brings
Wheat kings and pretty things
Oh that’s what tomorrow brings
