iphigenia to artemis

i'm iphigenia
and i can see you -
thank you for the rescue
there's just one more thing
i'd like to know
why did you save me
and what should
i do and can you
tell me what it is
that i should
tend this altar for -
the fire burns brightly
but it won't delight me
before this lonely cavern in
these unfamiliar woods
i'm just iphigenia

i know i should be grateful
and i really am
i appreciate the warm bed
and this glass of gin
but if i pace the floors
as if they were the
sidewalk i was working
just remember that
i haven't been on this side
of the door before

everyone says i can tell them
where they should go
give them what they need and
put on a great show
but if i've forgotten my compass
and can't find the map
just remember i never
have found a way to stay out of
of this paternal trap
