Interpret:

Elton John

Album:

The Union

You had your grand illusion
And wrestled with your fate


The winter of your discontent
Came twenty years too late


If it was love, and I was there
I've forgotten where it lives


We both stepped off a frozen rock
Onto a burning bridge


You came like an invasion
All bells and whistles blowing


Reaping the rewards
Of the fable you'd been sowing


I saw you cross the landing
Descending marble stairs


Like Caesar crossed the Rubicon
You seemed to walk on air


And yeah I've seen your movie
And I read it in your book
The truth just flew off every page
Your songs have all the hooks


You're seven wonders rolled in one
You've shifted gears to cruise


Oh you came to town in Helas!(?)
And eight hundred dollar shoes


Oh the bellboys are crying
And monies changing hands


Your cloak and dagger legacies
Gone home to No Man's Land


The marquee lights are flickering
Your posters fading fast


Your being here just melts away
Like ice cubes in a glass


And yeah I've seen your movie
And I read it in your book
The truth just flew off every page
Your songs have all the hooks


You're seven wonders rolled in one
You've shifted gears to cruise
Oh you came to town in Helas!(?)
And eight hundred dollar shoes


Oh you came to town in Helas!(?)
And eight hundred dollar shoes
