Based on a true story. Went home with the daughter of a foreign diplomat and got more than I was ready for. In a good way.
lyrics
Chateau Marmont 1AM
She said her daddy was a diplomat
From some far far faraway place
Where all the peasants there called her “Your Grace”
Her purse was heavy and her land was fat
She’s what you’d call a real deal aristocrat
She was just in town for the night
In the diplomatic residence
In the morning she’d catch a flight
To join her daddy and the president
“It’s lonely staying alone in that house atop the hill”
Well you ain’t gonna be lonely tonight, let’s get the bill
“So… Your place or mine? Whaddya say, handsome?”
Let me think…
Let’s go back to your mansion!
I got to get a little bit of that luxury action
We hopped an Uber up to Holmby Hills
She dropped the driver couple hundred dollar bills
The place was bigger than a fuckin' hotel
There were fountains and some statues as well
Some dude in black tie let us inside
And she said, “Merci, Henri. Now let us be”
She took my hand and she proceeded to guide
Me through her mansion till eventually
We came to a door and she took out a key
“Before we enter you must promise me
You cannot tell the world anything that you see
I have a reputation and I must keep it clean”
I agreed and she opened the door
My knees got weak and my jaw hit the floor
A wonderland of the erotic fashion
And I said anytime you’re in town, baby
Let’s go back to your mansion
I feel a very raw passion
Lights, camera...
Foreplay
