Im Going to Be a Teenage Idol — текст песни (Elton John)

Music by elton john

Lyrics by bernie taupin

Available on the album dont shoot me Im only the piano player



Well theres slim times when my words wont rhyme

And the hills I face are a long hard climb

I just sit cross legged with my old guitar

It kind of makes me feel like a rock and roll star



Well it makes me laugh lord it makes me cry

And I think for once let me just get high

Let me get electric put a silk suit on

Turn my old guitar into a tommy gun





And root-toot-shoot myself to fame

Every kid alive gonna know my name

An overnight phenomenon like theres never been

A motivated supersonic king of the scene





Ill be a teenage idol, just give me a break

Im gonna be a teenage idol no matter how long it takes

You cant imagine what it means to me

Im gonna grab myself a place in history

A teenage idol thats what Im gonna be





Well life is short and the world is rough

And if youre gonna boogie boy you got to be tough

Nobody knows if Im dead or alive

I just drink myself to sleep each night





And so I pray to the teenage God of rock

If I make it big let me stay on top

You got to cut me loose from this one room dive

Put me on the ladder keep this boy alive
