Challenging a Queen - Green Edition

Lyrics

[PERSEPHONE] 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 it ends [GRACE] Thanks for the welcome, it's my first time here You've made your feelings for me crystal clear You play your show, I'll just go grab a beer Didn't come here to quarrel with you Love what you've done here, this place comes up well You've nailed the theme it really feels like hell Guess you're not looking for new clientele? Just as well, that's a five-star review Let's try the easy way Hear what I have to say [PERSEPHONE] They get younger every year Little big shots that drift through here Think they're bringing something new through the door And you've heard it a thousand times before! Honey, I've heard it a thousand times before! Honey, I've heard it a thousand times! [GRACE] Why would I come down here and start a brawl? I'm just running out of time is all If it's true that I'm just lost and small Why you keeping your guard up? [PERSEPHONE & SPIRITS] Now she's lifting riffs from Pan! So familiar, so second-hand What a stock dime-a-dozen troubador Honey, we've heard it a thousand times before! (A thousand times before!) (You're no kind of Muse! You can't fill the shoes!) Oh, we've heard it a thousand times! [GRACE] Then I guess you've heard it all before Gave it my best, and then you slammed the door Raises the question, who else you'd ignore? [PERSEPHONE & GRACE] They get younger every year (Stay in the dark and fight your endless war) The little big shots that drift through here (Certain you can't be suprised anymore) Think they're bringing something new through the door (You know there's someone else that I speak for) But you've heard it [GRACE] Do you hear that? [PERSEPHONE] Calliope [GRACE] If she had something to say, would you turn her away? [PERSEPHONE] Please, don't do this [GRACE] You're lost, Persephone You've burried yourself On stage, in the blinding lights You're hiding here You ate that seed, that's not on me Rotten too long, blossomed all wrong [PERSEPHONE] We change shape, in time you'll see We all rot away into who we will be Your youth wasn't stolen Like it was from me [GRACE, spokem] Let me help you [PERSEPHONE] Don't touch me! I don't need help from any of you! I was alone, when you know who Kidnapped and crushed all my dreams 'Til a Muse... (spoken) I just want Calliope back [GRACE] You overcame so much on your own You should be praised I'm done throwing stones Please believe me Do you see me? Bowing down to you, my queen Underworld, I hearby concede You wanted blood, well, there's no more to bleed Your queen's above that, now I get that But can you help, Persephone, help a lost girl?
