The Wombats – Greek Tragedy Lyrics

We’re smashing mics in karaoke bars
You’re running late with half your make-up on¹
This method acting might pay our bills
But soon enough they’ll get up and roll the film²

I love this feeling
But I hate this part³
I wanted this⁴ to work so much
I drew up our plans on a chart⁵
Cars are flipping, I’m in hot pursuit⁶
My character’s strong but my head is loose⁷

She hits like ecstasy
Comes up and bangs the sense out of me⁸

The tarot cards say its not so bad⁹
And the blades rotate there’s just no landing pad¹⁰
And better have said it but darling you’re the best
I’m just tired of falling up the Penrose steps¹¹

I hate this feeling
But I love this part
She really wants to make it work
And I clearly want to let it start¹²
We’ll build a water slide
As soon as I get home¹³

Oh and she hits like ecstasy
Comes up and bangs the sense out of me
It’s wrong but surely worse to leave¹⁴
She hits like ecstasy
So free up the cheaper seats
Here comes a Greek tragedy¹⁵
