Greek Tragedy Lyrics

[00:42.83] We're smashing mics in karaoke bars
[00:47.38] You're running late with half your make-up on
[00:52.66] This method acting might pay our bills
[00:57.42] But soon enough there'll be a different role to fill
[01:02.07] I love this feeling
[01:05.62] But I hate this part
[01:07.86] I wanted this to work so much
[01:10.60] I drew up our plans on a chart
[01:12.97] Cars are flipping, I'm in hot pursuit
[01:17.83] My character's strong but my head is loose
[01:22.66] She hits like ecstasy
[01:31.36] Comes up and bangs the sense out of me
[01:48.71] The tarot cards say it's not so bad
[01:53.89] And the blades rotate, there's just no landing pad
[01:58.93] And better have said it but, darling, you're the best
[02:04.12] I'm just tired of falling up the Penrose steps
[02:09.07] I hate this feeling
[02:12.12] But I love this part
[02:14.73] She really wants to make it work
[02:16.74] And I clearly want to let it start
[02:19.33] We'll build a water slide
[02:22.09] As soon as I get home
[02:28.19] Oh, and she hits like ecstasy
[02:37.99] Comes up and bangs the sense out of me
[02:45.16] It's wrong, but surely worse to leave
[02:48.96] She hits like ecstasy
[02:58.03] So free up the cheaper seats
[03:03.14] Here comes a Greek tragedy
[03:09.74]
