Chasing The Crown Songtext / Lyric

Chasing The Crown

music by Elton John . lyrics by Bernie Taupin
album "21 at 33" 1980


I built a wall in China
I sank an ocean liner
I've wrecked homes
I've burned thrones
chasing the crown

I've put the thorns in your feet
I spread plague in the streets
I've sprung traps
confused maps
chasing the crown

I'm chasing the crown till he bites the apple
I was lickin' my lips till his Son come down
I'm chasing the crown, the crown
I'm chasing the crown
I'm taking a turn in the right direction
by leaving his soul in the lost and found
chasing the crown
I'm chasing the crown

I saw the tea float in Boston
I saw the live wire shock 'em
I made them float
I made them drown
chasing the crown

I'm chasing the crown till he bites the apple
I was lickin' my lips till his Son come down
I'm chasing the crown, the crown
I'm chasing the crown
I'm taking a turn in the right direction
by leaving his soul in the lost and found
chasing the crown
I'm chasing the crown

I laid the deserts, I froze polar caps
well they'd dry out and I'd shout
hey I'm chasing the crown

I'm chasing the crown till he bites the apple
I was lickin' my lips till his Son come down
I'm chasing the crown, the crown
I'm chasing the crown
I'm taking a turn in the right direction
by leaving his soul in the lost and found
chasing the crown
I'm chasing the crown
