Emperor's clothes
If I told you of my plans, of the dreams I had of life
Skip the riches and the fame
You can set it all aflame
I’d swap it in a minute to live my days with a wife
I said there’s gold right here, wherever we’d spend time
Too many people lost in the dash
Got to gather up a pile of cash
Getting robbed of all the special moments, it’s such a crime
You say I don’t know what I’m saying
Got too many bills I’m forever paying
I said relax I know where the money tree grows
Baby I’m the man who made the Emperors clothes
I spun a tale from the finest shit that you can’t see
Draped a love song over concern
Every line has something to learn
I made sure you were enveloped in the fantasy
I rode calamity through peace, kicked it to the side
Held a loose grip on your tears
Let loose to expose your fears
I saw you choke it back, just to save your pride
You say I don’t know what I’m saying
Got too many bills I’m forever paying
I said relax I know where the money tree grows
Baby I’m the man who made the Emperors clothes
I said take my hand, take my word, take it all
Turn the fiction to fact
Take it to the next act
I may be aiming high, but I’m not afraid to fall
I need to feel you, even when you’re not there
Like you’re still wrapped tight
Snuggle up to you every night
I want this solo act to become something we two share
You say I don’t know what I’m saying
Got too many bills I’m forever paying
I said relax I know where the money tree grows
Baby I’m the man who made the Emperors clothes
Shh don’t say a thing cause nobody knows
Baby I’m the man who made the Emperors clothes
