Lyrics

Emperor's New Clothes

Double, double, double down
Finders keepers, losers weepers
Double, double, double down

Welcome to the end of eras
Ice has melted back to life
Done my time and served my sentence
Dress me up and watch me die
If it feels good, tastes good
It must be mine
Dynasty decapitated
You just might see a ghost tonight

Double, double, double down
And if you don't know now you know

I'm taking back the crown
I'm all dressed up and naked
I see what's mine and take it
(Finders keepers, losers weepers)
Oh yeah, the crown
So close I can taste it
I see what's mine and take it
(Finders keepers, losers weepers)
Oh yeah

Double, double, double down

Sycophants on velvet sofas
Lavish mansions, vintage wine
I am so much more than royal
Snatch your chain and mace your eyes
If it feels good, tastes good
It must be mine
Heroes always get remembered
But you know legends never die

Double, double, double down
And if you don't know now you know

I'm taking back the crown
I'm all dressed up and naked
I see what's mine and take it
(Finders keepers, losers weepers)
Oh yeah, the crown
So close I can taste it
I see what's mine and take it
(Finders keepers, losers weepers)
Oh yeah

Mortal kings are ruling castles
Welcome to my world of fun
Liars settle into sockets
Flip the switch and watch them run
Oh yeah, oh
(Finders keepers, losers weepers)

I'm taking back back
Taking back back the crown
I'm all dressed up and naked
I see what's mine and take it
(Finders keepers, losers weepers)
Oh yeah, the crown
So close I can taste it
I see what's mine and take it
(Finders keepers, losers weepers)
Oh yeah

Finders keepers, losers weepers
Double, double, double down
Finders keepers, losers weepers
Double, double, double down
