Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
3
We bet on our lives and we bet on the horses
4
In that upstairs apartment
5
On Orlando and 4th
6
And the rent was due and the rent man was knocking
7
Like a Chinese proverb
8
We were always searching
9
Nightlife's a no-win but nobody noticed
10
How we killed off the bottles
11
Looking good on the surface
12
The dog days barked and the house cat got old
13
We were Bonnie and Clyde
14
In the emperor's new clothes
15
And the tears never came
16
They just stayed in our eyes
17
We refused to admit that we wore this disguise
18
Every inch of us growing
19
Like Pinocchio's nose
20
As we walked around in the emperor's new clothes
21
We flew by our wits and by the seat of our pants
22
In the state of illusion
23
In the nation of chance
24
And the repo was hauling the wreck we'd been driving
25
As the dashboard Madonna
26
Smiled back at us kindly
27
We cheated the system never batting an eyelid
28
Seeing only the good
29
Through the holes in our shoes
30
And our halos were rusty but we wore them proudly
31
We were two little gods
32
In the emperor's new clothes
