Every tragic story
Needs a tragic hero
And every tragic hero
Needs a tragic flaw
Focus on Echo
Nymph like us
Focus on Echo
The voice of a goddess
But the guts of a sheep
A breath from her bodice
Goes only so deep
A bit insec
Cure the silence with a little pitter-patter
I don't always have a lot to say but still it doesn't matter
Because when I sing I fear nothing so I'll keep riffing on
Insecure
I'll admit that I'm not friendly with the quiet
If the scene is too serene then in my head there is a riot
But then when I sing I fear nothing
I fear nothing at all
And every tragic hero needs a tragic flaw
Flaw flaw flaw flaw flaw flaw flaw
Flaw flaw flaw flaw flaw flaw flaw
Zeus' wife is Hera
Zeus is known to stray
Echo helps Zeus hide it
Hera doesn't play
Tell me now Echo
Where is Zeus
Tell me now Echo
I know he's unfaithful
But there's never proof
I'd be so very grateful
If you told me the truth
I'm getting up
Set me free from all the blame you think I carry
You should know a little more about the person that you marry
I'm just an odd little nymph, he's a literal god
I'm daunted by his confidence, I'm not his confidant
Upset
Don't be mad I swear I wasn't keeping secrets
But he asked me very nicely and you know that that's my weakness
But to be fair his affair is not a secret is it
He keeps explicit company you choose to be complicit
Be careful what you say
Hera doesn't play
You use your pretty voice
To do an ugly deed
You made a silly choice
So I know what you need
A curse so you'll never be unkind again
A curse so you'll only do your name
Focus on Echo
A curse
Now you'll never speak your mind again
A curse
You only have yourself to blame
Try to sing again
Again
You can only do your name now, Echo
Echo
Echo stands there in awe
Every tragic hero needs a tragic flaw
Flaw flaw flaw flaw flaw flaw flaw
Flaw flaw flaw flaw flaw flaw flaw
