Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album the one<br><br>There's a breakdown on the runway<br>And the timeless flights are gone<br>I'm a year ahead of myself these days<br>And I'm locomotive strong<br>My city spread like cannon fire<br>In a yellow nervous state<br>I can't cut the ties that bind me<br>To horoscopes and fate<br><br>And I won't break and I won't bend<br>But someday soon we'll sail away<br>To innocence and the bitter end<br>And I won't break and I won't bend<br>And with the last breath we ever take<br>We're gonna get back to the simple life again<br><br>When we break out of this blindfold<br>I'm gonna take you from this place<br>Until we're free from this ball and chain<br>I'm still hard behind the eight<br>My city beats like hammered steel<br>On a shallow cruel rock<br>If we could walk proud after midnight<br>We'd never have to stop
