作词 : Hammill | |
She's here now, perfume coiled like a thuggie scarf – | |
such a powerful drug to make you so naked and clean. | |
And you want to tell her | |
so much to disclose | |
this idea you've got to sell her | |
a new set of empress's clothes. | |
Who was that woman in the masquerade, | |
do those eyes still give you fever? | |
Who was that woman in the mystery-play, | |
do you still want to please her? | |
Where is the woman who can offer escape, | |
do you look for your freedom? | |
You see her and you want to tell her | |
so much to disclose | |
this idea you've got to sell her. | |
You want her to wear that finery, | |
the style that's never seen, | |
you're trying to break the deadlock | |
of this strangleholding scene... | |
oh, look, a new set of empress's clothes! | |
The here and now stands in your way; | |
you carry the bell, book and candle... | |
she won't make you go | |
but she won't let you stay | |
and you want to tell her | |
so much to disclose | |
this idea you've got to sell her | |
a new set of empress's clothes. | |
You want her to wear that finery, | |
the style that's never seen; | |
(And you want to tell her) | |
You're trying to break the deadlock | |
of this strangleholding scene; | |
(There's so much to disclose) | |
she makes you want to confess it all – | |
you don't know what it means, | |
but she makes you see | |
Empress's clothes. | |
Empress's clothes. | |
A new set of empress's clothes. | |
A new set of empress's clothes. | |
She makes you see empress's clothes. | |
She makes you see empress's clothes. | |
(repeat to fade) |
