about

A prayer, a plea, a mystery. Inspired by the Birth of Tragedy and the disappearance of bees.

lyrics

Heloise says
“Persephone please don’t be mad at me
For events that occurred in another song
This time I promise a sing along”
Heloise says
“Persephone please, we’re down on our knees
Whispering prayers to the underworld
To please the ears of a pretty girl”

And everybody swoons when they hear your name (calling Persephone)
And everybody loves the light you bring
So Persephone please join us now
Bring spring to our tiny town

Meanwhile an alter boy pleads
“God don’t be mad at me
For the things that I said to the crossing guard
For the things that I do when it’s after dark”
And in Chester Park Miss Cross sees the man with a beard of bees
He holds the queen bee between his teeth
He hopes that Miss Cross will stop to speak

And everybody swoons when they hear your name (calling Persephone)
And everybody loves the light you bring
So Persephone please join us now
Bring spring to our tiny town

Will she work her magic?
Will she plant a seed?
Between the librarian and the keeper of bees
Persephone Please?

And everybody swoons when they hear your name (calling Persephone)
And everybody loves the light you bring
So Persephone please join us now
Bring spring to our blighted town
