The Emperor's New Clothes - Elton John[00:00:00]
We bet on our lives and we bet on the horses[00:00:14]
In that upstairs apartment on Orlando and fourth[00:00:17]
And the rent was due and the rent man was knockin'[00:00:21]
Like a Chinese proverb we were always searchin'[00:00:24]
Nightlife's a no win but nobody noticed[00:00:29]
How we killed off the bottles lookin' good on the surface[00:00:32]
The dog days barked and the house cat got old[00:00:35]
We were Bonnie and Clyde in the Emperor's new clothes[00:00:39]
And the tears never came they just stayed in our eyes[00:00:46]
We refused to admit that we wore this disguise[00:00:52]
Every inch of us growin' like Pinocchio's nose[00:00:59]
As we walked around in the Emperor's new clothes[00:01:05]
We flew by our wits and by the seat of our pants[00:01:29]
In the state of illusion in the nation of chance[00:01:32]
And the repo was hauling the wreck we'd been drivin'[00:01:35]
As the dashboard Madonna smiled back at us kindly[00:01:39]
We cheated the system never batting an eyelid[00:01:44]
Seeing only the good through the holes in our shoes[00:01:47]
And our halos were rusty but we wore them proudly[00:01:50]
We were two little Gods in the Emperor's new clothes[00:01:54]
And the tears never came they just stayed in our eyes[00:02:01]
We refused to admit that we wore this disguise[00:02:07]
Every inch of us growin' like Pinocchio's nose[00:02:14]
As we walked around in the Emperor's new clothes[00:02:20]
And we were Bonnie and Clyde[00:03:07]
In the Emperor's new clothes[00:03:09]
And the tears never came [00:03:14]
They just stayed in our eyes[00:03:17]
We refused to admit that we wore this disguise[00:03:21]
Every inch of us growin' like Pinocchio's nose[00:03:27]
As we walked around in the Emperor's new clothes[00:03:34]
Emperor's new clothes[00:03:44]
Emperor's new clothes yeah[00:03:51]
