The Killers - Joseph, Better You Than Me lyrics
rate me<span class="feat">(feat. Elton John and Neil Tennant)</span><br>
<br>
<i>[The Killers]</i><br />
Well your eyes just haven't been the same, Joseph<br />
Are you bad at dealing with the fame, Joseph<br />
There's a pale moonshine, above you<br />
Do you see both sides, do they shove you, around<br />
<br />
<i>[Elton John]</i><br />
Is the touchstone forcing you to hide, Joseph<br />
Are the rumors eating you alive, Joseph<br />
<br />
<i>[The Killers]</i><br />
When the holy night is upon you<br />
Will you do what's right, the position is yours<br />
<br />
<i>[Elton John]</i><br />
From the temple walls to the New York night<br />
Our decisions rest on a child<br />
When she took her stand<br />
Did she hold your hand<br />
Will your faith stand still or run away<br />
Run away<br />
<br />
<i>[guitar solo]</i><br />
<br />
<i>[Elton John]</i><br />
When they've driven you so far<br />
That you think you're gonna drop<br />
Do you wish you were back there at the carpenter shop<br />
<br />
<i>[Neil Tennant]</i><br />
With the plane and the lathe<br />
The work never drove you mad<br />
You're a maker, a creator<br />
Not just somebody's dad<br />
<br />
From the temple walls to the New York night<br />
Our decisions rest on a man<br />
When I take the stand<br />
When I take the stand<br />
Will he hold my hand<br />
Will my faith stand still or run away<br />
<br />
(run away)<br />
<br />
<i>[Elton John]</i><br />
And the desert<br />
It's a hell of a place to find heaven<br />
Forty years lost in the wilderness looking for God<br />
And you climb to the top of the mountain<br />
Looking down on the city<br />
Where you were born<br />
<br />
(On the years since you left gave you time to sit back and reflect)<br />
<br />
Better you than me (Better you than me)<br />
Better you than me<br />
Yes<br />
<br />
<i>[The Killers]</i><br />
Well the Holy night is upon you (Better you than me <i>[2x]</i>)<br />
Do you see both sides, do they shove you, around<br />
<br />
Better you than me, Joseph (Better you than me)<br />
Better you than me<br />
Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, Joseph<br />
Than me<br />
Better you than me<br />
Better you than me (Better you, better you, better you)<br />
Than me<br />
<br />
Well your eyes just haven't been the same, Joseph
<br><br><br><br>
