The Diamond Necklace Affair

1.22.20

Verse

It’s her fault, it’s his fault

But you’ll be the one to blame

This court’s built upon a chessboard

Don’t you see it’s all a game?

You pretend it’s not the end

But you’ll leave just as you came

That’s not how a queen would sign her name 

Chorus

Listen, watch me

Simon says, “Don’t lose your head”

Watch me, listen

Tennis court all painted red

Verse

Silly girl, they love a show

Play your part, recite your lines

You can act like they’re not watching

Though you’re always on their minds

Such a shame, woe is you

Why didn’t you see the signs?

The guillotine sings your name tonight

Chorus

Listen, watch me

While they wait, let them eat cake

Watch me, listen

Now their hunger’s sealed your fate 

Bridge

The dance is done so viciously

Don’t walk on eggshells, raise a little hell

You’ll step on toes most certainly

Move to the rhythm, just try not to give in

It’s clear rock bottom’s on the way

A pawn in a kingdom, queen no one believes in

Who cares, we know it’s all hearsay

Leave, guns ablazing, not looking for saving

Chorus

Listen, watch me

Simon says, “Don’t lose your head”

Watch me, listen

Tennis court all painted red

Listen, watch me

While they wait, let them eat cake

Watch me, listen

Now their hunger’s sealed your fate
