Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album madman across the water<br><br>We've moved on six miles from where we were yesterday<br>And yesterday is but a long long ways away<br>So we'll camp out tonight beneath the bright starlight<br>And forget rotten peaches and the places we've stayed<br><br>I left from the dockland two years ago now<br>Made my way over on the s.s. marie<br>And I've always had trouble wherever I've settled<br>Rotten peaches are all that I see<br><br>Rotten peaches rotting in the sun<br>Seems I've seen that devil fruit since the world begun<br>Mercy I'm a criminal, jesus I'm the one<br>Rotten peaches rotting in the sun<br><br>There ain't no green grass in a u.s. state prison<br>There is no one to hold when you're sick for your wife<br>And each day out you'll pick, you'll pick rotten peaches<br>You'll pick rotten peaches for the rest of your life<br><br>Oh I've had me my fill of cocaine and pills<br>For I lie in the light of the lord<br>And my home is ten thousand, ten thousand miles away<br>And I guess I won't see it no more
