Emily"s sister
thought that none could resist her
she leaned in my ear
and whispered dirty things
she said, 'Come to my bedroom,
I"ll give you something to cling to'
Danced by the curtains
seemed so coyly naive,
but I glimpsed down her shirt
and caught a trick up her sleeve.
I said, 'Who did you talk to
before I had met you?'
Venus and Mars
are mistaken for stars
in the night sky
The clubs of the kings
the hearts of the queens
make it alright
Emily"s sister
gets whatever she wants
cause she sits on a throne
she thinks she"ll never get caught.
'But when they"re coming to get you
who will you run to?'
I sat on a shelf
as I had forgotten the art
of deceiving myself
that the actor"s the part.
'When no one can hurt you,
who will you turn to?'
Venus and Mars
are mistaken for stars
in the night sky.
It all falls apart,
a house built of cards.
Little white lies
make it alright.
