The Emporer's new clothes

We bet on our lives and we bet on the horses
In that upstairs apartment
On Orlando an 4th
And the rent was due and the rent man was knocking
Like a Chinese proverb
We were always searching

Nightlife's and no win but nobody noticed
How we killed up the bottles
looking good at the service
The dog days barked and the house cat got old
We were Bonnie and Clyde
In the emporer's new clothes

And the tears never came
They just stayed in our eyes
We refused to admit that we wore this disguise
Every inch of us growing
Like Pinocchio's nose
As we walked around in the emporer's new clothes

We flew by our wits and the seat of our pants
In that state of illusion
In the nation of chance
And the repo was hauling the wreck we'd been driving
As the dasbord Madonna
Smiled back at us kindly

We cheated the systemmever batting an eyelid
Seeying only the good
Through the holes in our shoes
And our halos were rusty but we were them proudly
We were two little gods in the emporer's new clothes

And the tears never came
They just stayed in our eyes
We refused to admit that we wore this disguise
Every inch of us growing
Like Pinnoichio's nose
As we walked around in the emporer's new clothes

Solo

We were Bonnie and Clyde
In the emporer's clothes

And the tears never came
they just stayed in our eyes
We refused to admit that we wore this disguise
Every inch of us growing
Like Pinocchio's nose
As we walked around in the emporer's newe clothes
Emporer's new clothes
