生命完整的样子 Goodbye Yellow Brick Road
When are you gonna come down
When are you going to land
I should have stayed on the farm
I should have listened to my old man
You know you can't hold me forever
I didn't sign up with you
I'm not a present for your friends to open
This boy's too young to be singing the blues 1
chorus
So goodbye yellow brick road
Where the dogs of society howl
You can't plant me in your penthouse
I'm going back to my plough
Back to the howling old owl 2 in the woods
Hunting the horny back toad 3
Oh I've finally decided 4 my future lies
Beyond the yellow brick road
What do you think you'll do then
I bet that'll shoot down your plane
It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics 5
To set you on your feet again
Maybe you'll get a replacement 6
There's plenty like me to be found
Mongrels who ain't got a penny
Sniffing 7 for tidbits like you on the ground
[repeat chorus]
