“Greek Tragedy” continues the exploration of a recurring theme of the Wombat’s Glitterbug—the doomed romance. Much like the album opener “Emoticons”, the singer predicts the early (and in this case tragic) demise of the relationship. In both this song and in “Emoticons”, the exact problem is left to...
Greek Tragedy Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
