Текст песни Simple life, Elton John

There s a breakdown on the runway
And the timeless flights are gone
I m a year ahead of myself these days
And I m locomotive strong
My city spread like cannon fire
In a yellow nervous state
I can t cut the ties that bind me
To horoscopes and fate

And I won t break and I won t bend
But someday soon we ll sail away
To innocence and the bitter end
And I won t break and I won t bend
And with the last breath we ever take
We re gonna get back to the simple life again

When we break out of this blindfold
I m gonna take you from this place
Until we re free from this ball and chain
I m still hard behind the eight
My city beats like hammered steel
On a shallow cruel rock
If we could walk proud after midnight
We d never have to stop
