Elton John - Enchantment Pa**ing Through lyrics

Music by elton john Lyrics by tim rice Elton's solo version is unreleased A few more days and we'll be home in glory Already they'll be getting out the flags With memphis high _______ dormitory For me, i only see a lot of snags The prospect above all i find distressful Is having to give up the soldier's life If anything i'm rather too successful They made me hand my sword in for a wife For just because i've triumphed as a slaver Brought booty back to egypt by the ton Of this and every month, i'm now the flavor And scheduled to do things i've never done And why should i tell you this, a stranger i just met A woman who in hours from now i'll certainly forget Anonymous and undemanding Enchantment pa**ing through My secrets and my confidence are safe enough with you My days out on the field are all but ended They'll put me out to gra** which means the throne Bedecked and bej**eled alongside my intended I feel as though my heart is set in stone But maybe i am being far too gloomy Yes, maybe i'll make waves in pastures new Find goverment and politics come to me As naturally as i now talk to you For just because i've triumphed as a slaver Brought booty back to egypt by the ton Of this and every month, i'm now the flavor And scheduled to do things i've never done And why should i tell you this, a stranger i just met A woman who in hours from now i'll certainly forget Anonymous and undemanding Enchantment pa**ing through My secret lack of confidence is safe enough with you Why should i tell you this, a stranger i just met A woman who in hours from now i'll certainly forget Anonymous and undemanding Enchantment pa**ing through My secret lack of confidence is safe enough with you
