Songs for Muses #7: Pasiphae (Bull in a China Shop)

I know you'll break my heart
you'll wreck me like a 
bull in a china shop
but I can't stop

Like a strange candy, I can't get enough
I'm enchanted, I just want your love
and I'm acting like an animal

I know you'll break my heart
you'll wreck me like a 
bull in a china shop
but I can't stop

I know you're gonna treat me rough
but I don't care, you're the one I want
and I'm acting like an animal

I know you'll break my heart
you'll wreck me like a 
bull in a china shop
but I can't stop

I've got a bad feeling in my gut
but that don't stop my heart from acting up
to get you or to not, I don't know what's worse
What did I do wrong to deserve this curse?

I know you'll break my heart
you'll wreck me like a 
bull in a china shop
but I can't...
I know you'll break my heart
you'll wreck me like a 
bull in a china shop
but I can't stop
but I can't stop
but I can't stop

Songs for Muses #8: Penelope (Still Gone)
Performed and recorded with City Mice
www.facebook.com/citymicetheband

I don't want to spend another night alone
I waited and waited and waited and you're still gone
I don't want to spend another night alone

I've been having nightmares every night
the fears that I don't entertain in the daylight
I've been having nightmares every night

Come home, come home
Your bones come home

I don't want to see you in my dreams
'Cause just dreaming is not gonna do it for me
I don't want to see you in my dreams

Come home, come home
Your bones come home

Every day replays the same old battle lost
I miss you like I miss a ghost
Every day replays the same old battle long lost
I miss you like I miss the ghost

Penelope (Still Gone)

Songs for Muses is a project by Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter Ana Becker, performing under the name Bullfinch. 
You can reach her at songsformuses at gmail dot com.
Each song was written for a different woman of classical mythology: women who maybe didn’t get their perspectives explored as well as the male characters in their stories.
What was Eurydice thinking as Orpheus lead her out of the underworld? Was it, “you had ONE job, punk. One job.” What would Cassandra tell you if you met her on a Manhattan corner? What if the Sirens were just lonely?
Stay tuned for a new song each week.
