Challenging a Queen - Red 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 [crowd cheers] We both know how this ends Let's see how far she bends We all know how this ends [GRACE, spoken] Hello? (sung) 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? [PERSEPHONE] 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 [GRACE] 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 [crowd booing] 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 [PERSEPHONE] 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 [GRACE] 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! [crowd cheers] [PERSEPHONE & GRACE] 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? [crowd cheers] [GRACE] Oh, sorry. What, Seph? Let me guess "How it ends," Yeah, you already said [PERSEPHONE & GRACE] 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, and then see How this ends How this always ends [GRACE] 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! [PERSEPHONE] 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 [GRACE] 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 [GRACE & CROWD] Say my name! (Grace!) Say my name! (Grace!) Say my name! (Grace!) [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
