Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Lyrics - Dream Theater

[The live version is available on the Fan Club Christmas CD 1998.] 

- Bernie Taupin 

(Elton John - from the album 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 

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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Back to the howling old owl in the woods 

Hunting the horny back toad 

Oh I've finally decided 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 

To set you on your feet again 

Maybe you'll get a replacement 

There's plenty like me to be found 

Mongrels who ain't got a penny 

Sniffing for tidbits like you on the ground 

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
