about

Circe: Sea witch. Femme fatale. She'll get you to eat animals that probably used to be people. Based on book 10 of the Odyssey.

lyrics

I won’t let you break my heart
like all the other girls
you don’t stand a chance this time

Look at that wolf
he was a man who wronged me
now see that lion
he was a man who bored me
remember the stag
the one that you ate this morning
he was a fool
who didn’t heed my warnings

Chorus:
So have some cheese and honey
Have some wine and barley
Admit how good it tastes to let me
Keep you here
Do you even know who I am?
(Don't know who you are dealing with, no)
My father is the sun
The only reason that you’re not an animal right now
(If you were not so helpless...)
Is that it doesn’t matter cause I won
(You'll never know)

I’ll play along
pretending that you’re in charge here
feed you like cattle
until you grow soft and large here
and I’ll hold you back
enough that you start to panic
but I don’t want love
I just want a power dynamic

Chorus

When you decide
you’ve had enough vacation
I’ll be so helpful
I’ll give you information
I’ll send you to hell
till even your comrades miss me
the last thing they wish
will be that they'd listened to me

Chorus

I won’t let you break my heart
like all the other girls
you don’t stand a chance this time
