Hell

By Elton John

[Verse 1]

Take a look around, there ain't no angels here

Just a big red moon all bloody and dirty

Coughing like a factory in the atmosphere

Take a happy face, stick it on the Middle East

There's a light switch broken

And a million fingers pointing at each other

For a minute's peace

Sweet talking baby Jane

She's a little golden tart

Looks like Cleopatra, acts like Joan Crawford

Rolling on a carpet with an ice pick in her heart


[Chorus]

And it's all or nothing

I feel like jumping

Where are my wings, what's my E.T.A

And I don't know all that is

Like the place whеre angels live

All I know is hеll is not below


[Verse 2]

See Joe Public hanging from a red-tipped noose

Trapped in a bottle, drowning with a genie

Waist-deep in wishes you can never use

At the last resort the geishas spread like flies

It's the moody black cloud all bitchy and muddy

Sticking to the ceiling like Gods on the night

Running in the river since she was only five years old

Only took a second as the windows shattered

Falling precious metal to suck out her soul


[Chorus]

And it's all or nothing

I feel like jumping

Where are my wings, what's my E.T.A

And I don't know all that is

Like the place where angels live

All I know is hell is not below


[Chorus]

And it's all or nothing

I feel like jumping

Where are my wings, what's my E.T.A

And I don't know all that is

Like the place where angels live

All I know is hell is not below
