In that upstairs apartment

On Orlando and 4th

And the tears never came

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
