| Lyrics:Bernie Taupin Music: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 |
