Elton John - Levon Lyrics
Music by elton johnLyrics by bernie taupinAvailable on the album madman across the waterLevon wears his war wound like a crownHe calls his child jesus`cause he likes the nameAnd he sends him to the finest school in townLevon, levon likes his moneyHe makes a lot they saySpend his days countingIn a garage by the motorwayHe was born a pauper to a pawn on a christmas dayWhen the new york times said God is deadAnd the wars begunAlvin tostig has a son todayAnd he shall be levonAnd he shall be a good manAnd he shall be levonIn tradition with the family planAnd he shall be levonAnd he shall be a good manHe shall be levonLevon sells cartoon balloons in townHis family business thrivesJesus blows up balloons all daySits on the porch swing watching them flyAnd jesus, he wants to go to venusLeaving levon far behindTake a balloon and go sailingWhile levon, levon slowly dies
