Emperor's Nu Shoez

Ever since mama died Nothing has been quite the same (Not the same any more) Summer seems so far away (So far away) When it's the wind chill of night I'm so far away I look outside and all I see are some friendly eyes Trying to get a ride (Got a body in a bag, got two bodies on the rag) Two bodies in the back and I can't- (Carpet wrapped around some grass clippings) Sitting in the back of my uncle's car Going to my grandpa's funeral Attendance is mandatory But that's not the end of the story Nobody showed up It wasn't growing up As it's over now He's dead Nothing I can do about it but Things have changed And we can change too Change the tune Of the song that we're singing The life that we're bringing The love that we're giving to one another Sisters and your brothers Everyone of your Best friend's sweatshirts From the camp ground They used to sleep at Over the summer Put out the fire and go to bed Rest your sleepy little head It's time for sleep and it's time to go It's time to go back home Going home That long, long long road The one that you forgot The interstate that you were bought I lost my feet, I lost my shoes I've lost my clothes and I've lost my groove The emperor's new shoes You threw off his groove The emperor's new shoes The emperor's new shoes Emperor's new shoes are gone again Emperor's new Shoes
