Elton John - The Emperor`s New Clothes слова песни
We bet on our lives and we bet on the horsesIn that upstairs apartmentOn Orlando and 4thAnd the rent was due and the rent man was knockingLike a Chinese proverbWe were always searchingNightlife`s a no-win but nobody noticedHow we killed off the bottlesLooking good on the surfaceThe dog days barked and the house cat got oldWe were Bonnie and ClydeIn the emperor`s new clothesAnd the tears never cameThey just stayed in our eyesWe refused to admit that we wore this disguiseEvery inch of us growingLike Pinocchio`s noseAs we walked around in the emperor`s new clothesWe flew by our wits and by the seat of our pantsIn the state of illusionIn the nation of chanceAnd the repo was hauling the wreck we`d been drivingAs the dashboard MadonnaSmiled back at us kindlyWe cheated the system never batting an eyelidSeeing only the goodThrough the holes in our shoesAnd our halos were rusty but we wore them proudlyWe were two little godsIn the emperor`s new clothes
