Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br><br>I can't control this flesh and blood<br>That's wrapped around my bones<br>It moves beneath me like a river<br>Into the great unknown<br><br>I stepped onto the moving stairs<br>Before I could tie my shoes<br>Pried a harp out the fingers of a renegade<br>Who lived and died the blues<br><br>And his promise made was never clear<br>It just carved itself in me<br>All I saw was frost inside my head<br>On the night he said to me<br><br>Someday we'll live like horses<br>Free rein from your old iron fences<br>There's more ways than one to regain your senses<br>Break out the stalls and we'll live like horses<br><br>We're the victims of the heartbreak<br>That kept us short of breath<br>Trapped above these bloodless streets<br>Without a safety net<br><br>I stood in line to join the trial<br>One more customer of fate<br>Claimed a spoke in the wheel of the wagon train<br>On the road to the golden gate<br><br>On the flat cracked desert I jumped ship<br>It just made sense to me<br>I've spent too long in the belly of the beast<br>And now I shall be free
