Lyrics

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, oh-hh-oh
There's no heaven above
(There's no heaven)
There's no hell down below
(There's no hell down below)
Just invisible men, oh-ho
In the emperor's clothes
Oh-hh-oh, I see my dearest clown
And she's draped in silk gowns
And we both, we both laugh
As we tumbling down, down, down
You dream, oh-hh-oh
There's no heaven above
(Heaven, heaven)
There's no hell down below
(There's no hell down below)
Just invisible men, oh-ho
In the emperor's clothes, oh-ho
Oh-hh-oh
There is no time for crying
'Cuz the time waltzes by, oh-hh-oh
And we twirl and we touch
And we both know why, why, why
We dream, oh-hh-oh
There's no heaven above
(There's no heaven)
There's no hell down below
(There's no hell down below)
Just invisible men, oh-ho
In the emperor's clothes
There's no heaven above
(There's no heaven)
There's no hell down below
(There's no hell down below)
Just invisible men, oh-ho
In the emperor's clothes, oh-hh-oh, oh-hh-oh, oh-hh-oh
