The busi-

ness-

men

are

drink-

ing

my

blood

Like

the

kids

in

art

school

said

they

would

And

I

guess

I'll

just

be-

gin

a-

gain

You

say,

"Can

we

still

be

friends?"

If

I

was

scared,

I

would

And

if

I

was

bored,

you

know

I

would

And

if

I

was

yours,

but

I'm

not

All

the

kids

have

al-

ways

known

That

the

em-

pe-

ror

wears

no

clothes

But

they

bow

down

to

him

a-

ny-

way

Because

it's

bet-

ter

than

be-

ing

a-

lone

If

I

was

scared,

I

would

And

if

I

was

bored,

you

know

I

would

And

if

I

was

yours,

but

I'm

not

Now

you're

knock-

ing

at

my

door

Say-

ing,

"Please

come

out

with

us

to-

night"

But

I

would

ra-

ther

be

a-

lone

Than

pre-

tend

I

feel

al-

right

If

the

busi-

nes-

smen

are

drink-

my

Like

Now

I'm

I

Than

My
