1
We bet on our lives and we bet on the horses
2
In that upstairs apartment
3
On Orlando and 4th
4
And the rent was due and the rent man was knocking
5
Like a Chinese proverb
6
We were always searching
7
Nightlifeí‚´s a no-win but nobody noticed
8
How we killed off the bottles
9
Looking good on the surface
10
The dog days barked and the house cat got old
11
We were Bonnie and Clyde
12
In the emperorí‚´s new clothes
13
And the tears never came
14
They just stayed in our eyes
15
We refused to admit that we wore this disguise
16
Every inch of us growing
17
Like Pinocchioí‚´s nose
18
As we walked around in the emperorí‚´s new clothes
19
We flew by our wits and by the seat of our pants
20
In the state of illusion
21
In the nation of chance
22
And the repo was hauling the wreck weí‚´d been driving
23
As the dashboard Madonna
24
Smiled back at us kindly
25
We cheated the system never batting an eyelid
26
Seeing only the good
27
Through the holes in our shoes
28
And our halos were rusty but we wore them proudly
29
We were two little gods
30
In the emperorí‚´s new clothes
