Empress`s Clothes Lyrics

Empress`s Clothes lyrics

She's here now, perfume coiled like a thuggie scarf -
such a powerful drug
to make you so naked and clean.
And you want to tell her
there's so
much to disclose
this idea you've got to sell her
a new set of
empress's clothes.
Who was that woman in the masquerade,
do those
eyes still give you fever?
Who was that woman in the mystery-play,
do
you still want to please her?
Where is the woman who can offer escape,
do you look for your freedom?
You see her
Ref.
You want her to
wear that finery,
the style that's never seen,
you're trying to break
the deadlock
of this strangleholding scene...
oh, look,
a new
set of empress's clothes!
The here and now stands in your way;
you
carry the bell, book and candle...
she won't make you go
but she
won't let you stay
Ref.
You want her to wear that finery,
the
style that's never seen;
You're trying to break the deadlock
of this
strangleholding scene;
she makes you want to confess it all -
you
don't know what it means,
but she makes you see
Empress's clothes.
