Elton John
What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
He talks a lot but never talks to anyone at all
2
He shakes his fists at busses and old posters on the walls
3
He knows someone who knew something about J.F.K.
4
But his friends are just the shadows in the halls and alleyways
5
The rumbling frozen pipes whisper secrets in the night
6
In the coffee grounds, his fingers sketch a portrait of his wife
7
She knew the legal eagle when his wings swept through the stars
8
Before he shut the furnace down and sealed away his heart
9
chorus:
10
It's Gauguin gone Hollywood again
11
A sleeping giant inside a rabbit's skin
12
Tahitian doors beyond the painted veil
13
Another simple mind adrift
14
Like Gauguin going Hollywood again
15
The day lacks color, days are duller than a butter knife
16
Rusty water running through hands out of touch with life
17
A man of independent means, he'd have us all believe
18
A soul who throws his wings away before he goes to sleep
19
(repeat chorus)
20
If only for a moment, the dead weight were alive
21
An invitation for the flame to shine a light inside
22
Illuminating darkness, giving him release
23
Then someday in his trash can we'll find a masterpiece
24
(repeat chorus)
25
Like Gauguin going Hollywood again
