Verse 1

 He's pleased to meet you underneath the horse

 In the cathedral with the glass stained black

 Singing sweet high notes that echo back

To destroy their master

 May be a long time till you get the call-up

 But it's sure as fate and hard as your luck

No-one'll know where you are

Chorus

 It's just a brief smile crossing your face

 Running speed trials standing in place

Verse 2

 When the socket's not a shock enough

 You little child what makes you think you're tough?

 When all the people you think you're above

They all know what's the matter

 You're such a pinball yeah you know it's true

 There's always something you go back running to

To follow the path of no resistance

Chorus

 It's just a brief smile crossing your face

 Running speed trials standing in place

 It's just a brief smile crossing your face

 Running speed trials all over the place

Play these chords to fade-out while Elliott sings "Oooh-ooh-ohh", etc.:

During the part where the words are "No one'll know where you are", you might try:

No one'll know where you are

Same for "To follow the path of no resistance"

Neither one is completely right, I don't think, but maybe each is part right.
