Rotten Peaches Lyrics - Madman Across The Water - Elton John

We've moved on six miles from where we were yesterday 

And yesterday is but a long long ways away 

So we'll camp out tonight beneath the bright starlight 

And forget rotten peaches and the places we've stayed 

I left from the dockland two years ago now 

Made my way over on the S. S. Marie 

And I've always had trouble wherever I've settled 

Rotten peaches are all that I see 

Rotten peaches rotting in the sun 

Seems I've seen that devil fruit since the world begun 

Mercy I'm a criminal, Jesus, I'm the one 

Rotten peaches rotting in the sun

Rotten peaches rotting in the sun 

Seems I've seen that devil fruit since the world begun 

Mercy I'm a criminal, Jesus, I'm the one 

Rotten peaches rotting in the sun 

There ain't no green grass in a U.S. state prison 

There is no one to hold when you're sick for your wife 

And each day out you'll pick, you'll pick rotten peaches 

You'll pick rotten peaches for the rest of your life 

Oh I've had me my fill of cocaine and pills 

For I lie in the light of the Lord 

And my home is ten thousand, ten thousand miles away 

And I guess I won't see it no more 

Rotten peaches rotting in the sun 

Seems I've seen that devil fruit since the world begun 

Mercy I'm a criminal, Jesus, I'm the one 

Rotten peaches rotting in the sun 

Rotten peaches rotting in the sun 

Seems I've seen that devil fruit since the world begun 

Mercy I'm a criminal, Jesus, I'm the, Jesus, I'm the one 

Rotten peaches rotting in the sun 

Rotten peaches rotting in the sun 

Rotten peaches rotting in the sun
