Song | Ego |
Artist | Elton John |
Album | A Single Man |
Lyrics:Bernie Taupin Music:Elton John | |
Take a look at me now and take a taste of the money | |
I'm not in it for the bread I'm in it for the gravy, honey | |
Step on the thin ice lightly | |
And check out the show twice nightly | |
'Cause I'm on the stage tonight | |
And if the price is right | |
I will amaze before the light I crave the light | |
Blinding white I need the light tonight | |
Take a look at me now and take a look at my billing | |
I'm not in it as an extra, I'm in it for the killing | |
Inflate my ego gently, tell them heaven sent me | |
'Cause I'm so expressive and I'm so obsessed with my ego | |
My ego and it's message | |
Oh inform the press, invite the guests | |
I need the press tonight | |
Do you remember acting out your youth | |
A Romeo resplendent on an orange case | |
Do you remember how I would recite | |
And how I'd blow my lines and hide my face | |
Well maybe it was childish, foolish, before schoolish | |
Immaturish, lose your coolish | |
But I had to grow and prove my ego | |
Take a look at me now and take a taste of the money | |
I'm not in it for the bread I'm in it for the gravy, honey | |
Inflate my ego gently, tell them heaven sent me | |
Oh 'cause I'm so expressive and I'm so obsessed with my ego | |
My ego and it's message | |
Oh inform the press, invite the guests | |
I need the press tonight |
