- Heloise’s
Epiphany, I Touched the
Face of Man,
The Things Inside Your Skull, Disappearing Rose,
Heloise,
beautician's assistant,
what does her life hold in store?
She clips and she curls
and she shampoos the girls,
does she want for something more?
Heloise,
beautician's assistant,
tries to escape into dreams
To begin to live
because time's closing in
and life is shorter than it seems
And oh!
Heart be still...
What did you feel when you took the pill?
Did it open your eyes?
Sweet Heloise did it alter your mind?
Heloise,
beautician's assistant,
just waking up to the truth
That just cause it's called a permanent
it won't last forever
And just
cause it's called permanent it won't last
forever
And just cause it's called a permanent it won't last forever
And just
cause it's called permanent it won't last
forever

I
touched the face
of a man
He was here now he’s gone
He was here now he’s gone
Can you touch the face of a man
Who is there and then gone
Who is there and then gone
And the children will play this game in the yard
Of the man who was there but now he is gone
But I
touched the
face
But I touched the face
I saw the face of a girl
She was here now she’s gone
She was here now she’s gone
Can you see the face of a girl
Who is there and then gone
Who is there and then gone
And the little boys play this game in the bars
With the girl who was here but now she is gone
But I
saw the face
But I saw the face
I read the news of a man
Who was killed in the war
Who was killed in the war
Did you read the news of the man
Who was killed in the war
Like the others before
And the President plays this game all the time
Tell a little white lie as the children all die
But I
touched the
face
But I touched the face
I touched the face of man

Let me
tell you all
about
the interesting plant life in your
skull
And when the lights are out,
in the places you cant see it grows
Feeding upon your dreams,
producing paisley leaves
And let me tell you all about
the interesting creatures in your
skull
A strange menagerie,
that feeds upon the paisley leaves
that grow
Where the jungle begins,
beyond all consciousness
And let me introduce you to
the zookeeper who lives inside your
skull
A master of beastaries,
he keeps all of the creatures in
control
Gathering their droppings,
for fertilizing dreams
And let me tell you all about
the interesting plant life in your
skull
And when the lights are out,
in the places you can’t see it grows
Feeding upon your dreams,
producing paisley leaves

Time
chases fleeting
beauty
But Rose is a girl who takes to flight
And there’s no doubt about it
Yeah she’s outta sight
She breaks the laws of physics
She passes through spectra of light
And there’s no doubt about it
Yeah she’s outta sight
And we all wonder where she goes
The mystery of Disappearing Rose
You’ll testify she’s standing there
But then she vanishes in(to) thin air
Yeah she’s outta sight
Yeah she’s outta sight
Yeah she’s outta sight
Yeah she’s outta sight

She’s
the queen of
all she surveys
She’s
Gwen of a
thousand days
And
she’ll never
walk with me
By the
roaring sea
at all
She’s
the light at
the end of my road
She’s
the ruler of
my abode
And
she’ll never
hold my hand
On the
thin white
sand I know
One of
these days
she’ll lead me to the world
One of
these days
I’ll
sleep in her
auburn curls
One of
these days
hate will end and rain come down
One of
these days
light will pour from the brittle ground
She’s
the wine fresh
from the grape
She’s
all colors and
all shapes
But
she’ll never
walk the earth
by the pounding surf with me
She’s
the queen of
all she surveys
She’s
Gwen of a
thousand days
And
she’ll never
walk with me
By the
roaring sea
at all

Persephone Please
Heloise says, "Persephone, please,
don't be mad at me
for events that occurred in another song.
This time I promise a sing-a-long."
And Heloise says, "Persephone, please,
we're down on our knees
whispering prayers for the underworld
to please the ears of a pretty girl."
And everybody swoons when they hear your name (calling Persephone)
And everybody loves the light you bring (calling Persephone)
So, Persephone, please join us now (calling Persephone)
Bring spring to our tiny town.
Meanwhile an altar boy pleads,
"God, don't be mad at me
for the things that I said to the crossing guard,
for the things that I do when it's after dark.
And across town Ms. Cross sees
the man with a beard of bees.
He holds the queen bee between his teeth.
He hopes that Ms. Cross will stop to speak.
And everybody swoons
when they hear your name (calling Persephone)
And everybody loves the light you bring (calling Persephone)
So, Persephone, please join us now (calling Persephone)
Bring spring to our tiny town.
Will she work her magic? Will she plant a seed?
Between the librarian and the keeper of bees?
Persephone, please.
Ba ba ba ba....
And everybody swoons when they
hear your name (calling Persephone)
And everybody loves the light you bring (calling Persephone)
So, Persephone, please join us now (calling Persephone)
Bring spring to our blighted town.
