Lyrics for The Emperor’S New Clothes by Elton John:
| | | Artist: | Elton John |
| | Album: | Songs From The West Coast | | Track: | The Emperor’S New Clothes | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 71 | | | | Lyrics: | We bet on our lives and we bet on the horses
In that upstairs apartment
On Orlando and
4th
And the rent was due and the rent man was knocking
Like a Chinese proverb
We were
always searching
NightlifeÂ’s a no win but nobody noticed
How we killed
off the bottles
Looking good on the surface
The dog days barked and the house cat got
old
We were Bonnie and Clyde
In the emperorÂ’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 PinocchioÂ’s nose
As we walked
around in the emperor's new clothes
We flew by our wits and by the seat of our
pants
In the state of illusion
In the nation of chance
And the repo was hauling the
wreck weÂ’d been driving
As the dashboard Madonna
Smiled back at us
kindly
We cheated the system never batting an eyelid
Seeing only the
good
Through the holes in our shoes
And our halos were rusty but we wore them
proudly
We were two little gods
In the emperorÂ’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 PinocchioÂ’s nose
As we walked
around in the emperor's new clothes
solo
We were Bonnie and Clyde
In the
emperor'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
PinocchioÂ’s nose
As we walked around in the emperor's new
clothes
EmperorÂ’s new clothes
EmperorÂ’s new clothes
