Chorus

CWe'll fast fDorward to a Bmfew years lCater

And no-one knows except the both of us

And I have honoured your request for silence

And you've washed your hands clean of this

You're essentially an employee

And I like you having to depend on me

You're a kind of protege

And one day you'll say you learned all you know from me

I know you depend on me

Like a young thing would go to a guardian

I know you sexualize me

Like a young thing would and I think I like it

Chorus

EmWhat part of our Chistory is re-iGnvented and under rugD swept

What part of your memory is selective and tends to forget

What's with the distance it seems so obvious

Just make sure you don't tell on me

Especially to members of your family

We best keep this to ourselves

And not tell any member of our inner posse

I wish I could tell the world

Cos you're such a pretty thing when you're done up properly

I might want to marry you, one day

If you'd watch that weight and keep your firm body
