Joseph, Better You Than Me Lyrics - Elton John

Well your eyes just haven't been the same, Joseph 

Are you bad at dealing with the fame, Joseph 

There's a pale moonshine above you 

Do you see both sides, do they shove you around 

Is the touchstone forcing you to hide, Joseph 

Are the rumors eating you alive, Joseph 

When the holy night is upon you 

Will you do what's right 

The position is yours 

From the temple walls to the New York night 

Our decisions rest on a child 

When she took her stand 

Did she hold your hand 

Will your faith stand still or run away 

Run away

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

When they've driven you so far 

That you think you're gonna drop 

Do you wish you were back there at the carpenter shop 

With the plane and the lathe 

The work never drove you mad 

You're a maker, a creator 

Not just somebody's dad 

From the temple walls to the New York night 

Our decisions rest on a man 

When I take the stand 

When I take the stand 

Will he hold my hand 

Will my faith stand still or run away 

(Run away) 

And the desert 

It's a hell of a place to find heaven 

Forty years lost in the wilderness looking for God 

And you climb to the top of the mountain 

Looking down on the city 

Where you were born 

(On the years since you left gave you time to sit back and reflect) 

Better you than me (Better you than me) 

Better you than me 

Yes 

Well the Holy night is upon you (Better you than me) 

Better you than me 

Better you than me 

Do you see both sides, do they shove you around 

Better you than me, Joseph (Better you than me) 

Better you than me 

Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, Joseph 

Than me 

Better you than me 

Better you than me (Better you, better you, better you) 

Than me 

Well your eyes just haven't been the same, Joseph
