《The Emperor’s New Clothes(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:00] The Emperor's New Clothes - Elton John

[00:00:14] We bet on our lives and we bet on the horses

[00:00:17] In that upstairs apartment on Orlando and fourth

[00:00:21] And the rent was due and the rent man was knockin'

[00:00:24] Like a Chinese proverb we were always searchin'

[00:00:29] Nightlife's a no win but nobody noticed

[00:00:32] How we killed off the bottles lookin' good on the surface

[00:00:35] The dog days barked and the house cat got old

[00:00:39] We were Bonnie and Clyde in the Emperor's new clothes

[00:00:46] And the tears never came they just stayed in our eyes

[00:00:52] We refused to admit that we wore this disguise

[00:00:59] Every inch of us growin' like Pinocchio's nose

[00:01:05] As we walked around in the Emperor's new clothes

[00:01:29] We flew by our wits and by the seat of our pants

[00:01:32] In the state of illusion in the nation of chance

[00:01:35] And the repo was hauling the wreck we'd been drivin'

[00:01:39] As the dashboard Madonna smiled back at us kindly

[00:01:44] We cheated the system never batting an eyelid

[00:01:47] Seeing only the good through the holes in our shoes

[00:01:50] And our halos were rusty but we wore them proudly

[00:01:54] We were two little Gods in the Emperor's new clothes

[00:02:01] And the tears never came they just stayed in our eyes

[00:02:07] We refused to admit that we wore this disguise

[00:02:14] Every inch of us growin' like Pinocchio's nose

[00:02:20] As we walked around in the Emperor's new clothes

[00:03:07] And we were Bonnie and Clyde

[00:03:09] In the Emperor's new clothes

[00:03:14] And the tears never came

[00:03:17] They just stayed in our eyes

[00:03:21] We refused to admit that we wore this disguise

[00:03:27] Every inch of us growin' like Pinocchio's nose

[00:03:34] As we walked around in the Emperor's new clothes

[00:03:44] Emperor's new clothes

[00:03:51] Emperor's new clothes yeah
