In Greek mythology, Thoosa or Thoösa (play /θoʊˈoʊsə/, Greek: Θόωσα, Thoōsa) was a sea nymph associated with swiftness, and the mother of the Cyclops Polyphemus by the god Poseidon (Odyssey, book I, lines 70–72). She was the daughter of Phorcys and most likely his wife Ceto, making her one of the Phorcydes.

    Crashing High

    by: The 69 Eyes

    You've got everything you need
    still ready for open up and bleed
    reading all the magazines
    reading all the books
    about the real diamond rings
    and dirty looks
    if you wanna fire baby
    that's what you will
    don't say I didn't warn you
    love could kill
    So why
    you wanna fall in love
    crashing high
    you wanna fall in love
    You've got everything you ever need
    New York City, Paris if you please
    it's not about the fortune
    not about the fame
    once you're flying higher
    everything's the same
    but you wanna fire
    that's what you will
    don't say I didn't warn you
    love can kill
    So why.......
