Take Me to the Pilot - Elton John

Album: Elton John

genre: Rock

If you feel that it’s real I’m on trial
And I’m here in your prison
Like a coin in your mint
I am dented and I’m spent with high treason

Through a glass eye your throne
Is the one danger zone
Take me to the pilot for control
Take me to the pilot of your soul

Take me to the pilot
Lead me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot
I am but a stranger[x2]

Well I know he’s not old
And I’m told, and I’m told he’s a virgin
Oh he may be she
But I’m told, and I’m never never for certain

Through a glass eye your throne
Is the one danger zone
Take me to the pilot for control
Take me to the pilot of your soul

Take me to the pilot
Lead me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot
I am but a stranger [x2]

Through a glass eye your throne
Is the one danger zone
Take me to the pilot for control
Take me to the pilot of your soul

Take me to the pilot
Lead me through the chamber
Take me to the pilot
I am but a stranger[x2]

Take me, take me, oh, oh
Take me, take me, yeah, yeah
Take me, take me, baby, baby, baby
Take me, take me.

Many believed that the song has an incomprehensible note, and Bernie himself confirmed it. He actually said the he has no idea what the song lyrics meant, comparing his writing style with authors like Baudelaire or Rimbaud, who " just threw things together and went Wow! That sounds good."
