Elton John – Levon

Elton John – Levon

 

 

Levon wears his war wound like a crownHe calls his child Jesus‘Cause he likes the nameAnd he sends him to the finest school in town
Levon, Levon likes his moneyHe makes a lot, they saySpends his days countingIn a garage by the motorway
He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas dayWhen the New York Times said, «God is deadAnd the war’s begun»Oh, Alvin Tostig has a son today
And 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 Levon
Levon sells cartoon balloons in townHis family business thrivesJesus blows up balloons all daySits on the porch swing watching them fly
And Jesus, he wants to go to VenusLeave Levon far behindTake a balloon and go sailingWhile Levon, Levon slowly dies
He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas dayWhen the New York Times said, «God is deadAnd the war’s begun»And Alvin Tostig has a son today
And he shall be LevonAnd he shall be a good manAnd he shall be LevonIn tradition with the family plan (whoo!)And he shall be LevonAnd he shall be a good manHe shall be Levon
And he shall be LevonAnd he shall be a good manAnd he shall be LevonIn tradition with the family plan (whoo!)And he shall be LevonAnd he shall be a good manHe shall be Levon
