|
Well your eyes just haven't been the same, Joseph
|
Are you bad at dealing with the fame, Joseph
|
There's a pale moonshine, above you
|
Do you see both sides, do they shove you, around
|
|
[Elton John]
|
Is the touchstone forcing you to hide, Joseph
|
Are the rumors eating you alive, Joseph
|
|
[The Killers]
|
When the holy night is upon you
|
Will you do what's right, the position is yours
|
|
[Elton John]
|
From the temple walls to the New York night
|
Our decisions rest on a child
|
When she took her stand
|
Did she hold your hand
|
Will your faith stand still or run away
|
Run away
|
|
[guitar solo]

|
[Elton John]
|
When they've driven you so far
|
That you think you're gonna drop
|
Do you wish you were back there at the carpenter shop
|
|
[Neil Tennant]
|
With the plane and the lathe
|
The work never drove you mad
|
You're a maker, a creator
|
Not just somebody's dad
|
|
From the temple walls to the New York night
|
Our decisions rest on a man
|
When I take the stand
|
When I take the stand
|
Will he hold my hand
|
Will my faith stand still or run away
|
|
(run away)
|
|
[Elton John]
|
And the desert
|
It's a hell of a place to find heaven
|
Forty years lost in the wilderness looking for God
|
And you climb to the top of the mountain
|
Looking down on the city
|
Where you were born
|
|
(On the years since you left gave you time to sit back and reflect)
|
|
Better you than me (Better you than me)
|
Better you than me
|
Yes
|
|
[The Killers]
|
Well the Holy night is upon you (Better you than me [2x])
|
Do you see both sides, do they shove you, around
|
|
Better you than me, Joseph (Better you than me)
|
Better you than me
|
Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, Joseph
|
Than me
|
Better you than me
|
Better you than me (Better you, better you, better you)
|
Than me
|
|
Well your eyes just haven't been the same, Joseph
