The Emperor's New Clothes歌词

[00:14.33]We bet on our lives and we bet on the horses
[00:17.18]In that upstairs apartment
[00:19.29]On Orlando and 4th
[00:20.57]And the rent was due and the rent man was knocking
[00:23.73]Like a Chinese proverb
[00:25.34]We were always searching
[00:29.33]Nightlife's a no-win but nobody noticed
[00:32.24]How we killed off the bottles
[00:33.98]Looking good on the surface
[00:35.74]The dog days barked and the house cat got old
[00:38.79]We were Bonnie and Clyde
[00:40.56]In the emperor's new clothes
[00:45.64]And the tears never came
[00:48.86]They just stayed in our eyes
[00:52.07]We refused to admit that we wore this disguise
[00:59.12]Every inch of us growing
[01:02.31]Like Pinocchio's nose
[01:06.19]As we walked around in the emperor's new clothes
[01:29.42]We flew by our wits and by the seat of our pants
[01:32.40]In the state of illusion
[01:33.92]In the nation of chance
[01:35.50]And the repo was hauling the wreck we'd been driving
[01:38.66]As the dashboard Madonna
[01:40.40]Smiled back at us kindly
[01:44.60]We cheated the system never batting an eyelid
[01:46.96]Seeing only the good
[01:48.90]Through the holes in our shoes
[01:50.49]And our halos were rusty but we wore them proudly
[01:53.55]We were two little gods
[01:55.62]In the emperor's new clothes
[02:00.77]And the tears never came
[02:04.08]They just stayed in our eyes
[02:07.28]We refused to admit that we wore this disguise
[02:11.14]Every inch of us growing
[02:17.40]Like Pinocchio's nose
[02:20.69]As we walked around in the emperor's new clothes
