You’re lost, little girl
You shouldn’t have come here
And I sure ain’t in the mood
To make new friends
Go home, little girl
The shadow’s drawing near
And you, all alone
We both know how this ends
Let’s see how far she bends
We all know how this ends
Hello?
Testing one, two, testing three
Is this thing on, are you testing me
With your coterie ogling expectantly?
Heads up, wrecking me won’t come for free
See it won’t be easy, Persephone
When I use the moves I bring blessedly
Shadows don’t scare me, see, I’ll survive it
Maybe you wanna do this in private?
You’re lost little girl
You’re wasting our time, now
The gall of a squeaking mouse in a lion’s den
Give up, little girl
The bus home is leaving
Seen it so many times
We all know how this ends
We all know how it ends
Oh, wait you’re she, The Persephone?
Oh boy, a celebrity dissing me!
Now remind me, P, jog my memory
Sorry, not up on my ancient history
Underworld, now that rings a bell
Was it you who was married to the king of Hell
It’s hazy, Hades? So you’re his lady?
Before my time, because I’m such a baby
Please, teach me my ABCs
Me, I never featured in Euripides
So, “Where are they now?” Wow, Look around
You’re the big cheese of a hole in the ground
Don’t you have any idea what you’re dealing with, child?
Surprise! Surprise!
Coins on your eyes!
Give them to the ferryman
Get it in your little head
You’re spitting at the Queen
Of the Dead
You’re not my queen, P, I’m alive
You got a real life muse in this basement dive
You could use a boost, should I play a gig?
Hey, word of mouth works, P, it’ll be big!
Get lost, little girl (I’d need a room, and a rider and a cut of the bar)
You’re making me angry (I got needs, you see. Say please, I’ll bring keys and a couple guitars)
You don’t want to know how far we could descend
We having fun yet? (Yeah!)
Oh, sorry. What, Seph? Let me guess,
“How it ends,” Yeah, you already said
Back off, little girl (We’re young, you’re old, we live, you die)
You’re asking for trouble (The end! See? That’s how time works. Buh-bye!)
You want to push me, so look, then, and see
How this ends
How this always ends
Don’t you have any idea how you sound right now?
We hear it all the time
The world is full of ghosts
And nothing’s ever born
You’re choking on dust down here, now
Maybe that’s your cue
Time’s come to move on
Make space for someone new
Someone not as bored as you
Maybe this new Muse will do!
Don’t use that word!
You have no right to use that word
After what you did to her
Why don’t I just kill you
And wipe the floor with you
Don’t use that word!
You have to fight to use that word
You don’t go in and take
That’s your biggest mistake
For Calliope’s sake
Wait, what word, muse? Not use it at all?
Not cool, screw you, see it’s not your call
Not a kid, but I’m innocent and I can explain
See my sunshine coming at the end of your reign
Say my name! (Grace!)
Say my name! (Grace!)
Say my name! (Grace!)
Say, hey, you’ve lost, little girl
I’ve stolen the show now
A breath of some fresher air
That’s enough for them
Hello, Underworld!
I’m finding a flow now
I’m not gonna slow down
And here’s why it’s so loud
Because none of us know, now
How it’s gonna end
How it’s gonna end
How it’s gonna end
