Levon Lyrics By Elton John

    levon bears his war wound like a crown
    he calls his child jesus
    ’cause he likes the name
    and he sends him to the finest school in town
    levon levon likes his money
    he makes a lot they say
    spends his days countin’
    in a garage by the motorway

    pre
    he was born a pauper to a pawn on a christmas day
    when the new york times said god is dead
    and the war’s begun
    alvin tostig has a son today

    and he shall be levon
    and he shall be a good man
    and he shall be levon
    in tradition with the family plan
    and he shall be levon
    and he shall be a good man
    he shall be levon

    levon sells cartoon balloons in town
    his family business thrives
    jesus blows up balloons all day
    sits on the porch swing watchin’ them fly
    and jesus he wants to go to venus
    leave levon far behind
    take a balloon and go sailin’
    while levon levon slowly dies

    pre
    he was born a pauper to a pawn on a christmas day
    when the new york times said god is dead
    and the war’s begun
    alvin tostig has a son today

    and he shall be levon
    and he shall be a good man
    and he shall be levon
    in tradition with the family plan
    whoo and he shall be levon
    and he shall be a good man
    he shall be levon
    and he shall be levon
    and he shall be a good man
    and he shall be levon
    in tradition with the family plan
    whoo and he shall be levon
    and he shall be a good man
    he shall be levon
