You could say that this town's seen better days
There's rats everywhere and some of them don't have Mercedes
The hometown crowd wants to see us by
So please save our lives or catch our eye
And a B-2 bombed us with a million roses
Nobody said a single thing about
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
About your new clothes
So no ifs and buts
No one's got the guts no more
This is no picture show
And it's no fairy story
Some claim they cannot afford the price
To see true prophets predict with dice
Or read the future with the mythic tarot
And who amongst them could foretell the force
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
About your new clothes
Hey I dig 'em
They're so hip that I'm turning green
They're a fashion statement
Yeah but no one knows what they mean
I wanna know so bad but I'm afraid
To find of what fine stuff's they're made
Even fashion experts they can't claim to know
What satisfies them most about
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
About your new clothes
We're cold and naked in case you hadn't guessed
And the emperor is the only one who is dressed
Well if that seems neat that's 'cause it is
Things don't bang they don't even fizz
They just go off right in your hand
There's a little boy in the furthest stand
Who says "Am I the only one who knows?"
But we don't hear 'cause we're so in love
With your new clothes
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
Your new clothes
With your new clothes
