lyrics

Emmanuelle...

Well, I can see the ships from the mainland
And the waves wash up red as hell
The flags of this foreign navy
Will be bloody as a close-out sale, oh yeah
Emmanuelle...

If I could train for the perfect resentment
It was the wife alone in Chinese snow
Who couldn't hold out too long in the steam room, son
She was the highest mountain that I know
And I called her Emmanuelle...

'Cause they can tell it's over as well
Not casting your spell so well, Emmanuelle
You cast your spell so well, Emmanuelle

Well, you can say a prayer for Lexington werewolves
And you can fold yourself back into your shell
But there's still murderers, conmen, and barsluts
Just waiting 'til you post bail, oh yeah
Emmanuelle...

'Cause they can tell it's over as well
Not casting your spell so well, Emmanuelle
No, you're not casting your spell that well, Emmanuelle

Now you're shimmying down to the ground floor
And you forgot to book a cheap hotel
The flags of that foreign navy
Now the waves wash up red as hell, oh yeah
Emmanuelle...
