Ego Bernie Taupin Released In 1978 lyrics

Take a look at me now and take a taste of the money
I`m not in it for the bread I`m in it for the gravy, honey
Step on the thin ice lightly
And check out the show twice nightly
`Cause I`m on the stage tonight and
If the price is right
I will amaze before the light I crave the light
Blinding white I need the light tonight

Take a look at me now and take a look at my billing
I`m not in it as an extra, I`m in it for the killing
Inflate my ego gently, tell them heaven sent me
`Cause I`m so expressive and I`m so obsessed with my ego
My ego and it`s message
Oh inform the press, invite the guests
I need the press tonight

Do you remember acting out your youth
A Romeo resplendent on an orange case
Do you remember how I would recite
And how I`d blow my lines and hide my face

Well maybe it was childish, foolish, before schoolish
Immaturish, lose your coolish
But I had to grow and prove my ego

Take a look at me now and take a taste of the money
I`m not in it for the bread I`m in it for the gravy, honey
Inflate my ego gently, tell them heaven sent me
Oh `cause I`m so expressive and I`m so obsessed with my ego
My ego and it`s message
Oh inform the press, invite the guests
I need the press tonight
