Not to worry, that is just one of Bernie Taupin’s hallucinations transcribed and put to Elton John’s music. They both have said in interviews over the years that most of the lyrics are complete drug-induced jibberish.
True. That’s why “Daniel” makes no sense. John and Taupin were high when they wrote it and had a final verse where you learn that Daniel is a Vietnam vet. But when they sobered up, they couldn’t remember the lyrics, so they left them out.
