about

Recorded @ Tapewurm Studios by C,John Freeborn.

lyrics

Like a moth to a flame or some sick twisted game
You just couldn't leave him alone
He's the trophy you've won can't you see what's to come?
You're kicking me out of my throne

It's the Emperor's new clothes
There are highs and some lows
But there's one thing you're too blind to see
When you kick off your robes you'll find you're alone
It's too late to turn back for home

The emperor looks into the mirror and smiles,
"These robes are the best I have seen"
But she's so blind she just sees what she's aching to see
Appearance has tricked her once more

You walk through the town
Watch your subjects all watch the ground
Does she know that she's been fooled again
When the deal of the century becomes the hand offs you lent me
Then you'll know you never should have strayed from me
