Elton John – The Muse

Music by Elton John

Lyrics by Bernie Taupin

From the soundtrack “The Muse”

When I can’t find words and wisdom in my life

And barriers abound

Should I feel blinded by the light

Knee deep up to my neck in heavy water

I conjure up my muse

She’s my means to achieve a simple quota

When it’s make or break

Make no mistake

She appears like lightening in a bottle

I catch the spark

Oh she lights the dark

The knot’s undone the ideas come

Like two hands on a throttle

There’s a place of one way streets and doubt

No red lights ever change

We wind up with no exit out

Facts are facts and stumbling blocks delay the mind

That’s when my muse arrives
