[Verse 1]
Cigarette smoke
Punkish indie band doing covers of the Strokes
Abandon all hope with your animal fur coats at the door
Its life in the city, what more could you ask for?
Its 21st Century Beatnik, vain and conceited
But its the beauty of it all that's still leaving me speechless
A hipster kind of vibe, trying to see how far it reaches
I can get through it all, the girls are my only weakness
Multi-colored sidewalks, alchoholic beverages
Smokers in the bathroom higher than Mount Everest
A perilous adventurer I am
I journey to this land of artistic vision subtely being twisted
Into Sex, Drugs, and Rock N' Roll
I kinda like it, but I guess that means I've got to go
And as I'm headed for the exit
I catch the eye of a woman with the beauty of a goddess
And then I get the message

[Chorus]
Oh, Olympus, Oh (4)

[Verse 2]
Venus
Venus Aphrodite
She tells me that's her name, I tell her that its mighty beautiful
She gives me gratitude
So gorgeous that it hurts but with a humble attitude, she's a knockout
Born and raised in Greece, later moved to Rome
Came to America this week, she came here on her own
There's no accent when she speaks, and so I know she's lying
But I play it off, let her have her fun
The night is done, but we know the morning's still young
The indie bar is all but empty, we leave at around 1
And head back to the hotel that she's staying in
Making out outside of her room until I'm baited in
A night of passion, the feeling can only be described as mythological
Practically illogical, weird way for me to chronicle
The making of the love between an artist and a goddess
My mortal mind can barely comprehend, I've got it honest, yeah

[Chorus]
Oh, Olympus, Oh (4)

[Bridge]
Lady Of Cythera, Beauty of Olympus
Scallop Shell masterpiece laying from me inches
Away
Away
Away
Away (X2)

Away
Away
Away, yeah

She is just
Mythology
Mythology
Mythology

She is my
Mythology
Mythology
Yeah

[Verse 3]
When Helios is shining and the Lightfall washes over
The true divinity sinks in, now that we're sober
No hangovers, just a cup of folgers, Adventure Time re-runs
And a pink iPod that's playing blue October
Now I've traveled to where the God of War himself has been
But the last mortal bragging about being with her didn't make it far back then
Struck down by the bolt so only I will know this myth
But she's leaving for the mountain tomorrow, so this is it
Gives me one last kiss, she smells of Elysian Fields
Its really crazy all the things that one night can reveal
Might never see her again, but this is only the beginning
So then again, maybe I will

[Outro]
Beauty of
Olympus
Olympus
Olympus

Lady of
Cythera
Cythera
Cythera
