The Emperor’s New Clothes (Letra)

Curso de Violão - Fórmula Violão

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

Nightlife’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 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 Pinocchio’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 we’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 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 Pinocchio’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 Pinocchio’s nose
As we walked around in the emperor’s new clothes
Emperor’s new clothes
Emperor’s new clothes

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

Nightlife’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 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 pinocchio’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 we’d been driving
As the dashboard madonna
Smiled back at us kindly

We cheated the system never batting an eyelid

And our halos were rusty but we wore them proudly

(sinead o’connor)

It seems like years since you held the baby
While i wrecked the bedroom
You said it was dangerous after sunday
And i knew you loved me
He thinks i just became famous
And that’s what messed me up
But he’s wrong
How could i possibly know what i want
When i was only twenty-one?
And there’s millions of people
To offer advice and say how i should be
But they’re twisted
And they will never be any influence on me
But you will always be
You will always be

If i treated you mean
I really didn’t mean to
But you know how it is
And how a pregnancy can change you

I see plenty of clothes that i like
But i won’t go anywhere nice for a while
All i want to do is just sit here
And write it all down and rest for a while
I can’t bear to be in another city
One where you are not
I would return to nothing without you
If i’m your girlfriend or not

Maybe i was mean
But i really don’t think so
You asked if i’m scared
And i said so

Everyone can see what’s going on
They laugh `cause they know they’re untouchable
Not because what i said was wrong
Whatever it may bring
I will live by my own policies
I will sleep with a clear conscience
I will sleep in peace

Maybe it sounds mean
But i really don’t think so
You asked for the truth and i told you

Through their own words
They will be exposed
They’ve got a severe case of
The emperor’s new clothes
The emperor’s new clothes
The emperor’s new clothes
The emperor’s new clothes
