Song of Calypso

There is no cool wind here

The sun beats stars to your sweat

I'm a fool in your arms

The heat is too much for me

Nobody wants me

But I've always loved an Odysseus

Without his Penelope

Flowers corrupt my lungs

The rain is seltzer water

The dress doesn't fit

My eyes are all you have to gain

And Nobody wants me

But I've always loved an Odysseus

Without his Persephone

Everything I want is in the stars

You're a compromise

I require sacrifice

I didn't ask for a spar

Nobody wants me

But I've always loved an Odysseus

Without his Penelope
