[Elton John:]
I hear you singing
“I Shall Be Released”,
Like a chainsaw running
through a masterpiece,
But that's all right, that's ok,
Grab the bottle and slide my way,
You dreamt of a devil down below,
Sprinkled cayenne pepper
in your sugar bowl,
But he's a fool and he's a thief,
Got silly little horns
and pointed teeth
[Elton John and Leon Russell together:]
Roll back the covers
and raise the shades,
We don't want to miss out
on the best part of the day,
You're my best friend
you shared my crazy ways,
Now we don't want to miss out
on the best part of the day
[Leon Russell:]
There's a canyon where
an echo hangs,
Like the ancient bells
of Notre Dame,
It's beyond the hills out of sight,
Thought I heard ‘em ringin'
all last night,
Hear the mating call
of the morning dove,
Like Romeo angels
in the roof above,
Rains will come sweet and clean,
Let the tears of God
keep the mountains green
[Elton John featuring Leon Russell:]
One big sun coming up,
old moon going down,
Thunder breaking in the east,
I'm gonna love you
‘till it comes around
