Persephone saw the pomegranate And wondered, "Can it be so bad To hide away in the Underworld? For the cold light of day's turned me mad" She ate the seeds, ran off with Hades Kissed a few forbidden Greek ladies She pissed off ghosts and won't answer her mama's calls Now Demeter's trying to reign her in But she befriended hellhounds and won't listen The goddess of spring refuses to turn to fall Atlas he held the stars on his back And wondered, "What if I let go And ran away to live in the woods To see the sky as mortals do below?" He tried to toss off his great burden But the sky started falling and his heart started hurting He couldn't let those innocent people die for him He shouldered the night sky and started weeping While the mortals below were silently sleeping The moon shone bright as Atlas grew so dim Demeter went walking by night And called to Atlas far away She said, "My child could learn from you For Persephone has simply gone astray" He admired the goddess's gumption But had to laugh at her assumption She thought he was happy under the weight of the sky He said, "Persephone's young and free Don't wish on her this misery Or you're condemning your daughter's youthful joy to die" Persephone loves pomegranate And visits Demeter half the year She's still in love with the Underworld But managed to alieve her mother's fears Now Demeter has her daughter back And decided to cut her a little slack For the young and dumb don't listen to concerns And Atlas smiled from afar As he held up the weight of stars For they did better than he and chose to learn
