Eloisa's Revenge

from Sunspots by Cousin Dud

lyrics

oh Persephone
won’t you please come home
for the world has grown
so cold since you went
and left us here alone
all the marigolds they refuse
to grow in this deep winter snow
and my fired and heavy eyes
they shall never be closed

for my nights
are so awfully bright
with the white and weary snow
upon the ground reflecting me the moon
jaded through your pretty city lights
such a dreadful sight
the wired and frozen view
from my hospital room

and i can see me comin’ round
in my evening gown
fuckin up this town
for the way you all looked down on me
i’ll be back up on the stage
lit out of this cage
my heart ripe with rage
cuz you wouldn’t lay your crown on me

painfully neat
disinfected sheets
anesthetically pleading
for some sympathy
what boy will marry will me
want no reception made of
dull and plastic cutlery,
just a plastic wife for the plastic
life that he’ll lead

there's no more pretend
indifferent til the end
go for weeks again
without seeing a friend
nothing but time to remember
when I didn't need to be so high
in boxes of old pictures
you can see it in my eyes

and i can see me comin’ round
in my evening gown
fuckin up this town
for the way you all looked down on me
i’ll be back up on the stage
lit out of this cage
my heart ripe with rage
cuz you wouldn't lay
your crown on me
hail mary full of grace
she’ll be put into her place
with a bullet in her face
