lyrics

She wears his heart on a chain
and when the sun goes down
he only calls out one name...
Persephone

She always dresses in black
hides in the shadows she casts
she's that rose on the vine
with a taste of strychnine
she's a poison

She's at one with the stars
personalized tarot cards
purveyor of the modern art
she's a bleeding heart
revelation

The fruit of her temptation
precedes her reputation
please don't take him away
Persephone

She floats into the room
you find meaning in her every move
she's the opening line to your darkest designs
she's a nightmare

Got that hypnotic vibe
close encounters of the cruelest kind
she changes her moods by the phase of the moon
she's in season

The fruit of her temptation
precedes her reputation
please don't take him away

She wears his heart on a chain
and when the sun goes down
he only calls out one name...
