    Lyrics by Bernie Taupin.


    "Without Bernie, basically, there wouldn’t have been an Elton John. I mean, without that stroke of good fortune and kismet as it were, Elton John probably wouldn’t have happened. I’m just a purveyor of Bernie’s feelings, Bernie’s thoughts.
    - Elton John

    Levon wears his war wound like a crown
    He calls his child Jesus
    'Cause he likes the name
    And he sends him to the finest school in town

    Levon, Levon likes his money
    He makes a lot they say
    Spends his days counting
    In a garage by the motorway

    He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
    When the New York Times said, "God is dead
    And the war's begun, Alvin' Tostig has a son today"

    And he shall be Levon
    And he shall be a good man
    And he shall be Levon
    In tradition with the family plan

    And he shall be Levon
    And he shall be a good man
    He shall be Levon

    Levon sells cartoon balloons in town
    His family business thrives
    Jesus blows up balloons all day
    Sits on the porch swing watching them fly

    And Jesus, he wants to go to Venus
    Leaving Levon far behind
    Take a balloon and go sailing
    While Levon, Levon slowly dies

    He was born a pauper to a pawn on a Christmas day
    When the New York Times said, "God is dead
    And the war's begun, Alvin' Tostig has a son today"

    And he shall be Levon
    And he shall be a good man
    And he shall be Levon
    In tradition with the family plan

    And he shall be Levon
    And he shall be a good man
    He shall be Levon

    And he shall be Levon
    And he shall be a good man
    And he shall be Levon
    In tradition with the family plan

    And he shall be Levon
    And he shall be a good man
    He shall be Levon

    What I don't get is how can Elton/Bernie be so prolific in the 70s and 80s with songs that still sound beautiful today.......but can't write a catchy tune now? Stevie Wonder? Springsteen? Does getting rich kill your creativity?
