We bet on our lives and we bet on the horses |
| [00:17.18] |
In that upstairs apartment |
| [00:19.29] |
On Orlando and 4th |
| [00:20.57] |
And the rent was due and the rent man was knocking |
| [00:23.73] |
Like a Chinese proverb |
| [00:25.34] |
We were always searching |
| [00:29.33] |
Nightlife's a no-win but nobody noticed |
| [00:32.24] |
How we killed off the bottles |
| [00:33.98] |
Looking good on the surface |
| [00:35.74] |
The dog days barked and the house cat got old |
| [00:38.79] |
We were Bonnie and Clyde |
| [00:40.56] |
In the emperor's new clothes |
| [00:45.64] |
And the tears never came |
| [00:48.86] |
They just stayed in our eyes |
| [00:52.07] |
We refused to admit that we wore this disguise |
| [00:59.12] |
Every inch of us growing |
| [01:02.31] |
Like Pinocchio's nose |
| [01:06.19] |
As we walked around in the emperor's new clothes |
| [01:29.42] |
We flew by our wits and by the seat of our pants |
| [01:32.40] |
In the state of illusion |
| [01:33.92] |
In the nation of chance |
| [01:35.50] |
And the repo was hauling the wreck we'd been driving |
| [01:38.66] |
As the dashboard Madonna |
| [01:40.40] |
Smiled back at us kindly |
| [01:44.60] |
We cheated the system never batting an eyelid |
| [01:46.96] |
Seeing only the good |
| [01:48.90] |
Through the holes in our shoes |
| [01:50.49] |
And our halos were rusty but we wore them proudly |
| [01:53.55] |
We were two little gods |
| [01:55.62] |
In the emperor's new clothes |
| [02:00.77] |
And the tears never came |
| [02:04.08] |
They just stayed in our eyes |
| [02:07.28] |
We refused to admit that we wore this disguise |
| [02:11.14] |
Every inch of us growing |
| [02:17.40] |
Like Pinocchio's nose |
| [02:20.69] |
As we walked around in the emperor's new clothes |
