Emperor's new clothes lyrics

A classic! Here are the lyrics to "The Emperor's New Clothes" by Sufjan Stevens:

[Verse 1] The emperor's new clothes, they're quite elaborate A tapestry of silk and satin, a garment so elaborate The emperor's new clothes, they're quite elaborate But I don't see anything, I don't see anything

[Chorus] The emperor's new clothes, they're quite elaborate But I don't see anything, I don't see anything The emperor's new clothes, they're quite elaborate But I don't see anything, I don't see anything

[Verse 2] The emperor's new clothes, they're quite elaborate A tapestry of silk and satin, a garment so elaborate The emperor's new clothes, they're quite elaborate But I don't see anything, I don't see anything

[Chorus] The emperor's new clothes, they're quite elaborate But I don't see anything, I don't see anything The emperor's new clothes, they're quite elaborate But I don't see anything, I don't see anything

[Bridge] I don't see anything, I don't see anything I don't see anything, I don't see anything I don't see anything, I don't see anything I don't see anything, I don't see anything

[Outro] The emperor's new clothes, they're quite elaborate But I don't see anything, I don't see anything The emperor's new clothes, they're quite elaborate But I don't see anything, I don't see anything
