The Wasteland — текст песни (Elton John)

Some days I think it`s all a dream
The things I`ve done, the places that I`ve been
This life of mine seemed surreal at times
Wasted days and nights in someone else`s mind

Could it be I`m not for real?
I`ve slapped my face to check out how I feel
There`s hostages to prove it`s true
Who lives behind the mask was never proved

Come on Robert Johnson
Though we`re worlds apart
You and I know what it`s like
With the devil in our heart
You sold your soul at the crossroads
Kept a little of mine on hand
I`m wading out this muddy water
Been stranded in the Wasteland

Rattling chains all around my bed
Ghosts can laugh but they`re already dead
I`m not dying and I`m far from gone
The blues man spent his candle but his pain lives on
