Lyrics

[Verse 1]

We're smashing mics in karaoke bars

You're running late with half your makeup on

This method acting might pay our bills

But soon enough there'll be a different role to fill

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

She hits like ecstasy

Comes up and bangs the sense out of me

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

Oh, and she hits like ecstasy

Comes up and bangs the sense out of me

[Verse 7]

Oh, and she hits like ecstasy

Comes up and bangs the sense out of me

It's wrong but surely worse to leave

And she hits like ecstasy

Oh, and she hits like ecstasy

[Verse 8]

So free up the cheaper seats

Here comes a Greek tragedy
