Lyrics
Nemesis
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
If I held my breath on you
I would have died a thousand times
And if chewing was to show you how much I cared
I would have probably be wearing dentures by now
If you held your breath on me
You would have died a million
And if chewing was to show me how much you cared
I would have probably swallowed your tongue by now
Our promises broken
Nemesis is our token
So you turn around and march on to your new home, hope
Wherever you've gone, darling
Please don't you ever forget
To treat others the way you want to be treated
Remember your days are fully numbered
March on
Now these days Henessy dries my veins
As our genesis smile back at me
Now heresy might be your new fate, faith
Whatever you've chosen to believe in darling
Don't you ever forget
To treat others the way you want to be treated
Remember your days are fully numbered
Treat others the way you want to be treated
Remember your days are fully numbered
Can't say anything for you no more
Nemesis in your case, darling
Next time, treat others the way you want to be trated
Or otherwise you'll get your punishment
And life ain't a bitch
Nemesis is
Nemesis is
Nemesis is
Nemesis is
Is the mother of karma (remember)
Karma (remember)
So long you run
