(feat. Elton John and Neil Tennant)




[The Killers]

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]

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]

When they've driven you so far

That you think you're gonna drop

Do you wish you were back there at the carpenter shop



[Neil Tennant]

With the plane and the lathe

The work never drove you mad

You're a maker, a creator

Not just somebody's dad



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]

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 [2x])

Do you see both sides, do they shove you, around



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



Well your eyes just haven't been the same, Joseph
