| Lyrics:Bernie Taupin Music:Elton John | |
| In Orient where wise I was | |
| To please the way I live | |
| Come give the beggar chance at hand | |
| His life is on his lip | |
| Three score a thousand times | |
| Where once in Amazon | |
| Where Eldorado holds the key | |
| No keeper holds my hand | |
| Unchain the gate of solitude | |
| The ruler says you run | |
| Run hard unto the scaffold high | |
| Your chance to jump the gun | |
| Oh how high the scaffold grows | |
| The plant life of your widow | |
| In black lace curtains brought you near | |
| From out the plate glass window | |
| The Minotaur with bloody hands | |
| Is enraged by the sun | |
| Caged he by the corpses | |
| Brought forth by the dawn | |
| In Orient is as I told | |
| The buckshee hangman swears | |
| For open crypts to silence | |
| Nylon knots to sway by prayer | |
| In Orient where wise I was | |
| To please the way I live | |
| Come give the beggar chance at hand | |
| His life is on his lip |
