Emperor's clothes
from Poetry by Tim Windisch · host Tim Windisch
Emperor's clothes If I told you of my plans, of the dreams I had of life Skip the riches and the fame You can set it all aflame I’d swap it in a minute to live my days with a wife I said there’s gold right here, wherever we’d spend time Too many people lost in the dash Got to gather up a pile of cash Getting robbed of all the special moments, it’s such a crime You say I don’t know what I’m saying Got too many bills I’m forever paying I said relax I know where the money tree grows Baby I’m the man who made the Emperors clothes I spun a tale from the finest shit that you can’t see Draped a love song over concern Every line has something to learn I made sure you were enveloped in the fantasy I rode calamity through peace, kicked it to the side Held a loose grip on your tears Let loose to expose your fears I saw you choke it back, just to save your pride You say I don’t know what I’m saying Got too many bills I’m forever paying I said relax I know where the money tree grows Baby I’m the man who made the Emperors clothes I said take my hand, take my word, take it all Turn the fiction to fact Take it to the next act I may be aiming high, but I’m not afraid to fall I need to feel you, even when you’re not there Like you’re still wrapped tight Snuggle up to you every night I want this solo act to become something we two share You say I don’t know what I’m saying Got too many bills I’m forever paying I said relax I know where the money tree grows Baby I’m the man who made the Emperors clothes Shh don’t say a thing cause nobody knows Baby I’m the man who made the Emperors clothes Tim Windisch 7/6/2018
