Lyrics (unofficial)
Diamonds are just hot squashed coal
I love you baby but you're in a hole
Not a holy place
Just look at your face
Your wine is just sour grapes
I love you baby but you made a mistake
Flaking out of sky
Shaking out a sigh
All her dreams are coming true
You better hope she don't dream about you
Persephone
Who's coming down the hall tonight
Her eyes so black, her skin so white
Persephone
Vultures swirl around you girl
The tombstone shot around the gliders whirl
Not a pearl in sight
Just look at tonight
A light comes on inside my head
I hear these words on a musical bed
And the speakers bled
And the tears were shed
Give me a ghost, a ghost of a chance
Come on baby it's our last dance
Persephone
Who growing richer, who got the gold
Who got the heat before it went cold
Persephone
Give me a ghost, a ghost of a chance
Come on baby it's our last dance
Persephone
Who growing richer, who got the gold
Who got the heat before it went cold
Persephone
Persephone
Persephone
