Cold Highway Lyrics - Elton John

Your life stepped lightly out our hands 

When no one's looking out you understand 

Your world was a wheel but the cog ceased to turn 

The bottom fell out and our fingers got burned 

And there's a cold, cold highway that the wind whistles down 

Where the corners turn blind like the graveyard ground 

Oh, your black icy snare once cut down my friend 

In the deepest dark winter when the world seemed to end 

Every new version of the way of life 

Leaves you reckless and searching for stars in the night 

But whose kid are you when they finally decide 

The lifestyle you led and the way that you died

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

And there's a cold, cold highway that the wind whistles down 

Where the corners turn blind like the graveyard ground 

Oh, your black icy snare once cut down my friend 

In the deepest dark winter when the world seemed to end 

But they're, oh, so simple, they're still trying to tell 

The difference for you between heaven and hell 

To glorify something, your legends are found 

But all they bought you was a hole in the ground 

Years rolling by just like a dream 

I'm partly human and I'm partly machine 

They've lost you and fate put your name on a stone 

Perhaps now my friend they might leave you alone 

And there's a cold, cold highway that the wind whistles down 

Where the corners turn blind like the graveyard ground 

Oh, your black icy snare once cut down my friend 

In the deepest dark winter when the world seemed to end
