1
in this museum
2
shadows cover corners while the dust
3
is just a cover over all of these displays
4
and the wagon wheel with just a broken spoke?
5
o, it doesn't want to go to waste
6
and it says "i've been all across this country
7
i dug my rut into the plains
8
safely got my family to their destination
9
and i only want to do it all again
10
oh i just want to be rolled
11
i just want to be rolled
12
that's why i'm the shape i am, i wasn't made for looking at
13
i just want to be rolled."
14
the banjo hangs against the wall
15
it's covered by a plate glass cage
16
it's just a relic from a hundred fifty years ago
17
when someone turned a porch into a stage
18
and it says "i've been played by expert fingers
19
plucked and picked in every single way
20
joined by voices, mingling with singers
21
and i only wanna feel like that again
22
oh i just want to be touched
23
i just want to be touched
24
that's what these strings are for, i wan't made for looking at
25
i just want to be touched."
26
the guard is sitting in his chair
27
he knows this whole place by heart
28
and he'll tell you everything you want to know
29
and everything you don't, once you get him started
30
and he says "welcome to my home away from home
31
i've been working here since i was 21
32
but no one ever steals a thing, i'm waiting for a reason
33
to open up those doors and run
34
oh i just want to be free
35
i just want to be free
36
and if you let me follow you, i promise i'll do anything
37
i just want to be free."
38
and the quilt is folded up
39
its colors faded from all the beds it laid on
40
but all the stuffing is intact, this thread is strong enough
41
to keep the insides in for many years
42
and it says "i've been held by tiny arms
43
dragged around by tiny hands
44
squeezed and cried on, slept with and confided in
45
and i only wanna mean that much again
46
oh i just want to be loved
47
i just want to be loved
48
so let me cover you, i'm not a decoration
49
i just want to be loved."
50
the camera sitting on the shelf
51
is blinded by the cover on its lens
52
there's only three exposures left before it needs another roll
53
oh, to shoot again!
54
and it says "i've seen mountains, i've seen canyons
55
weddings, birthdays, sunset, and sunrise
56
i've seen an old man weep and i've seen a baby smile
57
but i'm helpless without a human eye
58
oh i just want to be know
59
i just want to be known
60
so touch my buttons and i'll tell you all my secrets
61
i just want to be known."
Elton John - Crocodile Rock (Lyrics)
