Lyrics by Tim Rice
|
Elton's solo version is unreleased
|
|
|
It's so strange he doesn't show me more affection than he needs
|
Almost formal, too respectful, never takes romantic leads
|
There are times when I imagine I'm not always on his mind
|
He's not thinking what I'm thinking, always half a beat behind
|
Always half a beat behind
|
|
I'm in every kind of trouble, can't you tell, just look at me
|
Half ecstatic, half dejected, all in all I'm all at sea
|
Easy turns I thought I wanted, fill me now with chilling dread
|
You can never know the chaos, of a life turned on it's head
|
Of a life turned on it's head
|
|
|
Take a little time to panic, shake off your complacent state
|
I know all I ever wished to, of a life destroyed by fate
|
It's so strange you never notice anything but where you are
|
Step outside your gleaming prison, or is that a step too far
|
Or is that a step too far
|
