Coiled in the darkness I play it back again
Tonight you're Emma Watson, tomorrow my best friend
And I'm the tsar of Russia, the emperor of Japan
A thousand loyal concubines dance to my command
So promise you'll be gentle, promise you'll be kind
There's another body in the room but he don't seem to mind
He goes about his business, he makes no mention of me
Why would he turn around? I'm just doing what he taught me
If you touch me once then I won't think twice
We could go to Paris, it might be nice
It's a shame but it's true, with these pictures of you
I might see the evening through
Shrouded by my empathy I won't survive the night
But the evening holds a promise and I can see the light
There is no single word that encapsulates the feeling
Of flexing on your friends just to tell them that you're leaving
I'm hoping for a miracle a favours what I'll get
And though your hands are steady I can see your eyes are wet
And I want to show you everything, and I want to show you Paris
Oh god I'm so in love with you, oh, I'm so embarrassed
If you touch me once then I won't think twice
We could go to Paris, it might be nice
It's a shame but it's true, with these pictures of you
I might see the evening through
Come my oldest friend, see what I've become
At night we sleep together, in the morning you are gone
Lately I've been wondering if you're even there at all
For these pictures on my wall
Are all that I see
Did I make you cry?
A drop in the sea
A tear in your eye
I want you to feel, oh no
I need you to know my darling
That nothing that's real is as good as a show
Oh I know
That if you touch me once then I won't think twice
We could go to Paris, it might be nice
It's a shame but it's true, with these pictures of you
I might see the evening through
And I still see you every time I'm down
Yeah I still see you every time I'm down
