Chasing The Crown

Song byElton John
in Album21 At 33

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 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 licking 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

I'm chasing the crown, I'm chasing the crown

I saw the tea float in Boston, I saw the live wire shock them

I made them float, I made them drown, chasing the crown

I laid the desert sands, I froze the polar caps

Well, they'd dry out, and I'd shout "Hey I'm chasing the crown"
