Elton John
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
You had your grand illusion and wrestled with your fate
2
The winter of your discontent came twenty years too late
3
If it was love and I was there I've forgotten where it lives
4
We both stepped off a frozen rock onto a burning bridge
5
You came like an invasion all bells and whistles blowing
6
Reaping the rewards of the fable you'd been sowing
7
I saw you cross the landing and descending marble stairs
8
Like Caesar crossed the Rubicon you seemed to walk on air
9
[Chorus]
10
And yeah I've seen your movie
11
And I read it in your book
12
The truth just flew off every page
13
Your songs have all the hooks
14
You're seven wonders rolled in one
15
You shifted gear to cruise
16
Oh you came to town in headlines
17
And eight hundred dollar shoes
18
Oh the bellboys are crying and moneys changing hands
19
Your cloak and dagger legacy's gone home to no man's land
20
The marquee lights are flickering your poster's fading fast
21
Your being here just melts away like ice cubes in a glass
22
[Chorus]
23
Oh you came to town in headlines
24
And eight hundred dollar shoes
