My Elusive Drug Lyrics - Peachtree Road - Elton John

I'm not the same as I used to be 

All the things you've heard seem hard to believe 

Haven't always been good, never really been bad 

Most times I've been happy, yea sometimes I've been sad 

Sure I've made mistakes, haven't we all 

I've been loose as a cannon and dumb as a wall 

Haven't always been sober in counting my ducks 

And if I look back now I've had my share of luck 

But the change didn't come over night 

I've been searching for you all my life 

All the habits that I couldn't handle 

I've swept them under the rug 

In exchange for the sweetest addiction 

You, my elusive drug

I'm going to stay now, I really like it here 

I may paint your picture, and I might grow a beard 

There were times I was crazy couldn't handle my life 

Don't think you'd have liked me not at any old price 

But the change didn't come over night 

I've been searching for you all my life 

All the habits that I couldn't handle 

I've swept them under the rug 

In exchange for the sweetest addiction 

You, my elusive drug 

And I've taken the pills 

I got burnt out and chilled by the cold 

But I've no regrets and that being said 

You know cheap thrills can get pretty old (Ah, ah!) 

(Instrumental) 

But the change didn't come over night 

I've been searching for you all my life 

All the habits that I couldn't handle 

I've swept them under the rug 

In exchange for the sweetest addiction 

You, my elusive drug 

But the change didn't come over night 

I've been searching for you all my life 

All the habits that I couldn't handle 

I've swept them under the rug 

In exchange for the sweetest addiction 

You, my elusive drug 

In exchange for the sweetest addiction 

You, my elusive drug
