Did Anybody Sleep with Joan of Arc?

[Verse 1: Elton John]

At seventeen, she became the queen of Orleans

A peasant child guided by a vivid dream

She was cool before they knew what cool became

She cut her hair and cross-dressed in a dangerous age

She set a trend, a natural look was all the rage

Imagine if they'd had merchandise and poster sales

This bride of God, bigger than Elvis in her day

She had it all until they burned it all away

[Chorus]

She swung a sword

She rode a horse

She wore her armor for the Lord

But did she cry by candlelight?

Was she lonely after dark?

Did she pray for something more?

Did anybody sleep with Joan Of Arc?

[Verse 2: Elton John]

She was small and more or less of common breed

But saint aside, no stranger to a woman's needs

No handsome knights, no random acts of chivalry

Her bed remained a simple place for her to sleep

[Chorus]

She swung a sword

She rode a horse

She wore her armor for the Lord

But did she cry by candlelight?

Was she lonely after dark?

Did she pray for something more?

Did anybody sleep with Joan Of Arc?

[Bridge: Elton John]

They burned her down for her belief

They burned her down for her faith

They gave her up into the flames

Proclaiming she'd seen heaven's face

[Chorus]

She swung a sword

She rode a horse

She wore her armor for the Lord

But did she cry by candlelight?

Was she lonely after dark?

Did she pray for something more?

Did anybody sleep with Joan Of Arc?

[Outro: Elton John]

They burned her down for her belief

They burned her down for her faith

They gave her up into the flames

Proclaiming she'd seen heaven's face

Did anybody sleep with Joan of Arc?

They burned her down for her belief

They burned her down for her faith

They gave her up into the flames

Proclaiming she'd seen heaven's face

Did anybody sleep with Joan of Arc?
