electra
for i am dancing
in the blood and i
am joyful for the flood
and i will never wash my
hands again so i can
always remember how
she died;
sophocles you do me wrong
to give me words
to sorrow's song
and let orestes take the fall
in fact he only
made the call -
you don't have to
whitewash the walls of
my history
or justify my killing spree
'cause sophocles,
i'd do it all again
for i am dancing
in the blood and i
am joyful for the flood
and i will never wash my
hands again so i can
always remember how
she died
oh mother made a few
mistakes but don't think
that these led to hate -
it was no kind of
filial loyalty that
led to all this carnage
it was her most annoying sighs
and tiring
of all her lies
so sophocles
don't demystify me
because you know
i'd do it all again
for i am dancing
in the blood and i
am joyful for the flood
and i will never wash my
hands again so i can
always remember how
she died;
i cherish all these memories
the knife entered so easily
and so sophocles
i'd do it all again.
