[Verse 1]

She's here now, perfume coiled like a thuggie scarf –

Such a powerful drug to make you so naked and clean

[Chorus]

And you want to tell her

So much to disclose

This idea you've got to sell her

A new set of empress's clothes

[Verse 2]

Who was that woman in the masquerade?

Do those eyes still give you fever?

Who was that woman in the mystery-play?

Do you still want to please her?

Where is the woman who can offer еscape?

Do you look for your freedom?

[Chorus]

Oh you see her (Yeah)

You want to tеll her

There's so much to disclose

This... this idea you've got to sell her

[Verse 3]

You want her to wear that finery

The style that's never seen

You're trying to break the deadlock

Of this strangleholding scene...

Oh look, a new set of empress's clothes!

[Verse 4]

The here and now stands in your way;

Oh you carry the bell, book and candle...

She won't make you go

But she won't let you stay

[Chorus]

And you want to tell her

So much to disclose

This... this idea that you've been trying to sell her

That's just a new set of empress's clothes

[Verse 5]

You want her, you want her

That style that's never seen;

You're trying, you're trying

This strangleholding scene;

She makes you want to [?] it all –

You don't know what it means

But only she makes you see

[Outro]

Empress's clothes

Empress's clothes

Empress's clothes

A new set of empress's clothes

Empress's clothes

A new set of empress's clothes

Empress's

Empress's

Empress's clothes
