Simple Life — текст песни (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
