Elton’s Songs
Wide-eyed watching the sun go down,
oh tiny dancer, why wear that frown?
tell me, have the drugs worn off?
Elton's songs muffled behind her persistent cough
finally sober, we had grown old, on our faces it really showed
we thought we'd been chasing a yellow brick road
I found a fake reality in this rocket man's high
only to come crashing down, and tearfully tell her goodbye
If I'd known this would be your sacrifice
I'd have never introduced you to this damned vice
now all alone, I'm left still standing
trapped with an addiction, that's always demanding
A second chance at life, why was I the one blessed?
I never imagined today was the last I'd see you get dressed
as she fades away in that doctor's bed, I'm trapped with regrets
she asks if for one last time I'd sing her "Bennie and the Jets"
