Leather Jackets - Elton John

Do you pray to someone new

When you’re locked up in the rock

Is the golden age dead and gone

Are the hands stuck on the clock

Can you talk to Buddy’s bones

When you spin a forty five

The king ain’t dead, he’s just asleep

Somewhere in the after life

And look at them boys in leather jackets

Second skin, not fade away

Danger girls love leather jackets

Play back to back, and that’ll be the day

Leather jackets, that’ll be the day

We all need to smell the heat

You know that things go better with chrome

Is Memphis real or just a song

Three thousand miles from home

Be a cool jerk, don’t work

When fashion makes you change

Keep the faith, don’t waste

Another nickel on another name

And idolise twisted cars

Like taxi cabs and spiders

Eternity’s just down the road

They’re looking for more riders
