Lyrics Oscar Wilde Gets Out - Elton John
Freedom
for
the
scapegoat
leaving
Reading
jail
Rheumy
eyes
just
pierced
his
heart
like
crucifixion
nails
Shaking
fists
and
razor
gleamed,
you
never
stood
a
chance
When
the
ink
ran
red
on
Fleet
Street
You
turned
your
eyes
to
France
Humbled
far
from
Dublin,
chased
across
the
waves
Your
biting
wit
still
sharp
enough
to
slice
through
every
page
Desitute
and
beaten
by
the
system
of
the
crown
The
bitter
pill
you
swallowed
tasted
sweeter
going
down
And
looking
back
on
the
great
indifference
Looking
back
at
the
limestone
walls
Thinking
how
beauty
deceived
you
Knowing
how
lonve
fools
us
all
A
golden
boy
in
velveteen
landed
in
New
York
The
past
was
so
seductive
when
they
paid
to
hear
you
talk
Baccarat
and
champagne
flutes,
tobacco
from
Virginia
Long
before
the
lords
and
law
branded
Oscar
Wilde
a
sinner
And
looking
back
on
the
cold
bleak
winter
Looking
back
on
those
long
dark
days
Felt
like
the
head
of
John
the
Baptist
In
the
arms
of
Salome
Don't
turn
around
it's
a
white
gull
screaming
Don't
cry
out
loud
you
never
know
who's
listening
You've
seen
it
all
the
exiled
Unforgiven
From
the
stately
homes
of
England
to
her
prisons
And
looking
back
at
the
hardened
lifers
Looking
back
on
the
wretched
poor
Thinking
maybe
they
were
my
saviors
Strange
to
think
I'll
miss
them
all
Strange
to
think
I'll
miss
them
all
Chrous
