Nightlife
The knowing bird, nobody noticed how it killed out
The bottle's 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
guitar solo
We knew
That we were Bonnie and Clyde in the emperor's new clothes
I whistled by the seat of her pants
In the state of illusion
In the nation of chance
And the repo was hauling
The wreck we've been driving
As the dashboard Madonna smiled back at us kindly
We cheated the system
Never biding 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
guitar solo
guitar solo
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
guitar solo
With the
guitar solo
guitar solo
guitar solo
guitar solo
lovely guitar 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
Yeah

The knowing bird, nobody noticed how it killed out

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
guitar solo
We knew
That we were Bonnie and Clyde in the emperor's new clothes
I whistled by the seat of her pants
In the state of illusion
In the nation of chance
And the repo was hauling
The wreck we've been driving
As the dashboard Madonna smiled back at us kindly
We cheated the system
Never biding 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

As we walked around in the emperor's new clothes
Emperor's new clothes
Emperor's new clothes
