Emperor's Clothes
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I feel rain slither down
In a hot desert sky
And when I, when I touch you
I'm left wondering why, why, why
I dream
There's no heaven above
(There's no heaven)
There's no hell down below
(There's no hell down below)
Just invisible men
In the emperor's clothes
I see my dear clown
And she's draped in silk gowns
And we both, we both laugh
As we tumble down, down, down
You dream
There is no time for crying
'Cause the time waltzes by
And we twirl and we touch
And we both know why, why, why
We dream
