            Song Lyrics 
            
 
 
 
 
 We bet on our lives and we bet on the horses 
In that upstairs apartment 
On orlando and 4th 
And the rent was due and the rent man was knocking 
Like a chinese proverb 
We were always searching 
Nightlife's a no-win but nobody noticed 
How we killed off the bottles 
Looking good on the surface 
The dog days barked and the house cat got old 
We were bonnie and clyde 
In the emperor's new clothes 
And the tears never came 
They just stayed in our eyes 
We refused to admit that we wore this disguise 
Every inch of us growing 
Like pinocchio's nose 
As we walked around in the 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
