Tambourine - Elton John

It feels like I’m flying
When I see your face
I’m charged with a power
Of amazing grace
I flip the switch signal
On the permanent dream
Like the palm of my hand
On a tambourine

Dumb rocks filling up
My poor head
Did you just say
What I thought you said
First cat back here gets the cream
And bounce a little river
Of my tambourine

Smack in the middle
Toss it in the air
I don’t care
You can play me everywhere
Roll and rattle
When I’m out of steam
You got my head ringing like a tambourine

A curveball coming
That I didn’t see
A flash flood washing
Out a dried up creek
A went in muddy
But I came out clean
Like a Baptist banging
On a tambourine

Smack in the middle
Toss it in the air
I don’t care
You can play me everywhere
Roll and rattle
When I’m out of steam
You got my head ringing like a tambourine

You’re a spinning-round gypsy in the moonlight
Cymbals flashing in the firelight
I’m freefalling into a dream
My hidden heart banging
Like the tambourine

Smack in the middle
Toss it in the air
I don’t care
You can play me everywhere
Roll and rattle
When I’m out of steam
You got my head ringing like a tambourine
Roll and rattle
When I’m out of steam
You got my head ringing like a tambourine.
