Текст песни Elton John - Ego

*    *     *  *    *    *      *  
Take a look at me  now and take a taste of the money 
 *        *    *      *  *    *     *     
I'm not in it for the bread          I'm in it for the gravy, honey 
Step on the thin ice lightly 
And check out the show twice nightly Oh____________! 
'Cause I'm I'm on the stage tonight 
And if the price is right 
I will amaze before the light I crave the light 
Blinding white I need the light tonight 
 *    *     *  *   *    *     *  
Take a look at me now and take a look at my billing 
     *    *   *  *  *      *   *     
I'm not in it as an e_____xtra, I'm in it for the killing 
Inflate my ego gently, tell them heaven sent me Oh____________! 
'Cause I'm so expressive and I'm so obsessed with my ego 
              A 
My ego and it's message 
Oh inform the press, invite the guests 
I need the press tonight 
Do you remember acting out your youth 
A Romeo resplendent on an orange case 
Do you remember how I would recite 
And how I'd blow my lines and hide my face 
Well maybe it was childish, foolish, before schoolish 
Immaturish,      lose your coolish 
But I had to grow and prove my ego 
 *    *     *  *   *    *      *  
Take a look at me now and take a taste of the money 
     *    *    *  *    *    *       *     
I'm not in it for the bread          I'm in it for the gravy, honey 
Inflate my ego gently, tell them heaven sent me  Oh_________! 
'Cause I'm I'm so expressive and I'm so obsessed with my ego 
              A 
My ego and it's message 
Oh inform the press, invite the guests 
I need the press tonight 
Do you remember acting out your youth 
A Romeo resplendent on an orange case 
Do you remember how I would recite 
And how I'd blow my lines and hide my face 
Well maybe it was childish, foolish, before schoolish 
Immaturish,      lose your coolish 
Oh, childish, foolish, before schoolish 
Immaturish,      lose your coolish 
                           ** 
But I had to grow and prove my ego
