Joseph, Better You Than Me

[The Killers] [Verse 1] Well your eyes just haven't been the same, Joseph Are you bad at dealing with the fame, Joseph There's a pale moonshine, above you Do you see both sides, do they shove you, around [Elton John] Is the touchstone forcing you to hide, Joseph Are the rumors eating you alive, Joseph [The Killers] When the holy night is upon you Will you do what's right, the position is yours [Elton John] [Verse 2] From the temple walls to the New York night Our decisions rest on a child When she took her stand Did she hold your hand Will your faith stand still or run away Run away [guitar solo] [Elton John] [Verse 3] When they've driven you so far That you think you're going to drop Do you wish you were back there at the carpenter shop [Neil Tennant] [Verse 4] With the plane and the lathe The work never drove you mad You're a maker, a creator Not just somebody's dad [Verse 5] From the temple walls to the New York night Our decisions rest on a man When I take the stand When I take the stand Will he hold my hand Will my faith stand still or run away (run away) [Elton John] [Verse 6] And the desert It's a hell of a place to find heaven Forty years lost in the wilderness looking for God And you climb to the top of the mountain Looking down on the city Where you were born (On the years since you left gave you time to sit back and reflect) Better you than me (Better you than me) Better you than me Yes [The Killers] Well the Holy night is upon you (Better you than me) Do you see both sides, do they shove you, around [Verse 7] Better you than me, Joseph (Better you than me) Better you than me Joseph, Joseph, Joseph, Joseph Than me Better you than me Better you than me (Better you, better you, better you) Than me [Outro] Well your eyes just haven't been the same, Joseph
