Elton John - Cold Highway Lyrics
Music by elton johnLyrics by bernie taupinReleased as a uk b-side in august, 1974Your life stepped lightly out our handsWhen no ones looking out you understandYour world was a wheel but the cog ceased to turnThe bottom fell out and our fingers got burnedAnd theres a cold, cold highway that the wind whistles downWhere the corners turn blind like the graveyard groundOh your black icy snare once cut down my friendIn the deepest dark winter when the world seemed to endEvery new version of the way of lifeLeaves you reckless and searching for stars in the nightBut whose kid are you when they finally decideThe lifestyle you led and the way that you diedBut theyre oh so simple, theyre still trying to tellThe difference for you between heaven and hellTo glorify something, your legends are foundBut all they bought you was a hole in the groundYears rolling by just like a dreamIm partly human and Im partly machineTheyve lost you and fate put your name on a stonePerhaps now my friend they might leave you alone
