Nemeses (Featuring John Roderick)
Jonathan Coulton

It's an amazing smile
Even the suit has teeth
Everything flash and guile
With nothing underneath
Except a small black heart that no one sees but me
I've been watching
I can see you start to wonder

Could it be that you need me
To keep you out, to run you faster?
Promise me you'll let me be the one
The worst of all your enemies
Pretending you're a friend to me
Say that we'll be nemeses

Being a brilliant man
Going to great expense
Devising a master plan
It doesn't make much sense
Unless you find the one you're destined to destroy
Now that you're here
I don't seem that crazy do I?

Could it be that you need me
To keep you out, to run you faster?
Promise me you'll let me be the one
The worst of all your enemies
Pretending you're a friend to me
Say that we'll be nemeses

Ah yes
My old friend
You are a master of this game
A hidden blade
When you pretend
That you don't even know my name
Well played

Sometimes it's hard to tell
If you even notice me
Maybe it's just as well
It's better you don't see the way
I'm running just to keep your back in view
In your shadow
Waiting for the perfect moment

Could it be that you need me
To keep you out, to run you faster?
Promise me you'll let me be the one
The worst of all your enemies
Pretending you're a friend to me
Say that we'll be nemeses
