Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Released as a uk b-side in august, 1974<br><br>Your life stepped lightly out our hands<br>When no one's looking out you understand<br>Your world was a wheel but the cog ceased to turn<br>The bottom fell out and our fingers got burned<br><br>And there's a cold, cold highway that the wind whistles down<br>Where the corners turn blind like the graveyard ground<br>Oh your black icy snare once cut down my friend<br>In the deepest dark winter when the world seemed to end<br><br>Every new version of the way of life<br>Leaves you reckless and searching for stars in the night<br>But whose kid are you when they finally decide<br>The lifestyle you led and the way that you died<br><br>But they're oh so simple, they're still trying to tell<br>The difference for you between heaven and hell<br>To glorify something, your legends are found<br>But all they bought you was a hole in the ground<br><br>Years rolling by just like a dream<br>I'm partly human and I'm partly machine<br>They've lost you and fate put your name on a stone<br>Perhaps now my friend they might leave you alone
