Lyrics

The Harpy

Your face has a pinched appearance
An insatiable hunger
Lust with physical deviance
Changed by the goddess Athena
You sit in a crowded bar
Your looks turn to stone
Looking at us from afar
In Haedis you may roam

So snakes for hair
And a girl with bird wings
You are just a harpy
And a cow among other things

Zeus took to the sky
Poseidon to the sea
You came to this town
To cause grief and misery
I see all your trouble
This ironic twist of fate
But nobody likes you now
For you I think it?s too late

Everything?s an opportunity
Nothing a closed door
You want what you can?t have
But I?ve seen it all before
Everybody loves a tear
As you cry in the smoker?s room
But they?ve got you sussed dear
A lying bint is what I assume
