Elton John - The Wasteland (Songs From The West Coast)
Some days I think it's all a dream
The things I've done, the places that I've been
This life of mine seemed surreal at times
Wasted days and nights in someone else's mind
Could it be I'm not for real?
I've slapped my face to check out how I feel
There's hostages to prove it's true
Who lives behind the mask was never proved
Come on Robert Johnson
Though we're worlds apart
You and I know what it's like
With the devil in our heart
You sold your soul at the crossroads
Kept a little of mine on hand
I'm wading out this muddy water
Been stranded in the Wasteland
Rattling chains all around my bed
Ghosts can laugh but they're already dead
I'm not dying and I'm far from gone
The blues man spent his candle but his pain lives on
Elton John - The Wasteland (04:15)
From his 2002 tour
This song makes me want to kill myself but in a good way.... if that is even possible.
Great song though Elton John is the king of the piano rock. Billy Joel has nothing on him, though he is great also.

@mrfivegold Hmmm... well I would actually put him in 2nd place when it comes to piano rock... I just think that Paul Mccartney was the best at piano rock.

Is it just me, or does Elton John seem somewhat dadaist in the early part of his career? The combo of happy music and grim lyrics make me wanna laugh.

I would put Elton John and Billy Joel ahead of Mccartney. Easily.

Fabulous. Guess what? I used to tap dance during the last few minutes when I was a girl. LOL This tune was always great for the old soft shoe. Thanks, Elton.
