Elton John - The Scaffold слова песни
In Orient where wise I wasTo please the way I liveCome give the beggar chance at handHis life is on his lipThree score a thousand timesWhere once in AmazonWhere Eldorado holds the keyNo keeper holds my handUnchain the gate of solitudeThe ruler says you runRun hard unto the scaffold highYour chance to jump the gunOh how high the scaffold growsThe plant life of your widowIn black lace curtains brought you nearFrom out the plate glass windowThe Minotaur with bloody handsIs enraged by the sunCaged he by the corpsesBrought forth by the dawnIn Orient is as I toldThe buckshee hangman swearsFor open crypts to silenceNylon knots to sway by prayerIn Orient where wise I wasTo please the way I liveCome give the beggar chance at handHis life is on his lip
