"Greek Tragedy" lyrics - THE WOMBATS

We're smashing mics in karaoke bars
You're running late with half your make-up on
This method acting might pay our bills
But soon enough there'll be a different role to fill

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
I love this feeling, but I hate this part
I wanted this to work so much, I drew up our plans on a chart
Cars are flipping; I'm in hot pursuit
My character's strong, but my head is loose

[Chorus 1:]
She hits like ecstasy
Comes up and bangs the sense out of me

The tarot cards say it's not so bad
And the blades rotate; there's just no landing pad
And better have said it but, darling, you're the best
I'm just tired of falling up the Penrose steps

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
I hate this feeling, but I love this part
She really wants to make it work and I clearly want to let it start
We'll build a water slide as soon as I get home...

[Chorus 2:]
Oh, and she hits like ecstasy
Comes up and bangs the sense out of me
It's wrong, but surely worse to leave
She hits like ecstasy

[Outro:]
So free up the cheaper seats
Here comes a Greek Tragedy
