Elton John - Lord Of The Flies lyrics

Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Released as a uk b-side in 1986<br><br>Well he looks through the wreckage<br>But he can't find a photo of you<br>Then he ties me in knots<br>With riddles he chooses to use<br><br>And he says how come you two<br>Are the only ones here who survived<br>Oh I thought it was me<br>Who was destined to be<br>The lord of the flies<br><br>And who rules when fools leave, I do<br>Says the lord of the flies<br>Leave me your world, give me your earth<br>Swallow your foolish pride<br>And don't think I'm wrong, it's here I belong<br>It's mine, I'm the lord of the flies<br>Lord of the flies<br>Lord of the flies<br><br>Then take all the money you want<br>It's the last thing we used for fuel<br>Here in the late great capital<br>We burned a bonfire for you<br><br>He knows we burned the harvest<br>And saw through his disguise<br>He's no phantom at all<br>He's the only thing left<br>The lord of the flies
