Chemical Emily Lyrics by Lenoy Barkai

Paper Crown

2023

[Verse]
Chemical Emily wanted to be something bigger than what she was born with
Eschewing the moderate, dreamt of conglomerates rising up out of the oceans
Make no mistake, at an earlier date she’d be burnt at the stake for ambition
But though times have changed some old flames never age:
She’s been fighting a war of attrition
[Chorus]
Chemical Emily: the greatest conspiracy the world never got to see
Chemical Emily: won’t you come back to mе
[Verse]
Chemical Emily stood on the balcony enjoying a beer and a ciggiе
She made a pact, had a plan of attack, made right there in the heart of the city
Make no mistake, she was born of the Cape but she danced to the music of Joburg
And when the going got loud down at her favourite club, that’s ‘cause when she’s there the crowd’s coming over
[Chorus]
Chemical Emily: the greatest conspiracy the world never got to see
Chemical Emily: won’t you come back to me
[Bridge]
A whiskey on Long, with her girl arm-in-arm, is all that she ever did need
A boy in a band in the palm of her hand playing her favourite song on repeat
Oh Chemical Emily
[Chorus]
Chemical Emily: the greatest conspiracy the world never got to see
Chemical Emily: won’t you come back to me
[Bridge]
A whiskey on Long, with her girl arm-in-arm, is all that she ever did need
A boy in a band in the palm of her hand playing her favourite song on repeat
Oh Chemical Emily
[Chorus]
Chemical Emily: the greatest conspiracy the world never got to see
Chemical Emily: won’t you come home to me
