Elton John - Hoop Of Fire Lyrics
Music by elton johnLyrics by bernie taupinAvailable on the album leather jacketsYou say that all you want are the simple thingsLong walks on lonely beaches, guitars with nylon stringsBut underneath youd rather leap through a hoop of fireYou shy away from lips that want, that want to kiss youTongue-tied on formal evenings, wealth dont impress youBut if you ask me you like the heat in a hoop of fireAnd its hard to read just how you feel or what your dreams desireYour pulse that races when Im close reads like a hoop of fireYour pulse that races when Im close reads like a hoop of fireNo late nights making love in secret placesYou feel pressure all around you, mistrust in strangers facesBut dont pretend you wouldnt spend some time in a hoop of fireBut dont pretend you wouldnt spend some time in a hoop of fire
