| 作词 : Hammill | |
| She's here now, perfume coiled like a thuggie scarf – | |
| such a powerful drug to make you so naked and clean. | |
| 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. | |
| 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 escape, | |
| do you look for your freedom? | |
| You see her and you want to tell her | |
| so much to disclose | |
| this idea you've got to sell her. | |
| 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! | |
| The here and now stands in your way; | |
| you carry the bell, book and candle... | |
| she won't make you go | |
| but she won't let you stay | |
| 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. | |
| You want her to wear that finery, | |
| the style that's never seen; | |
| (And you want to tell her) | |
| You're trying to break the deadlock | |
| of this strangleholding scene; | |
| (There's so much to disclose) | |
| she makes you want to confess it all – | |
| you don't know what it means, | |
| but she makes you see | |
| Empress's clothes. | |
| Empress's clothes. | |
| A new set of empress's clothes. | |
| A new set of empress's clothes. | |
| She makes you see empress's clothes. | |
| She makes you see empress's clothes. | |
