Thank the lord in heaven, i just got home Never been so in need of time alone Gonna lock the door, cut the phone, pick up my guitar and play Why does everybody have to make life so hard Nothing else exists except for my back yard Wysteria's in bloom and april is on her way And april will turn to may Persephone comes home today Hello, how you doing, i haven't caught your name You could bring me ruin, and i could do the same We'll run and away, do it now, wait until this song is done And i'm taking off her flannel gown But i haven't kissed her yet Been drinking since the sun went down And sharing cigarrettes She'll break the virgins, break her vows Breaking hearts one by one And that's the way she has her fun Sweet persephone brings back the sun Caesar said to brutus, et tu brute Jesus said to judas today will be your day The ides of march, a march to selma And every king will meet an early grave Betrayed by the ones they tried to save But sweet persephone comes home today
