[HERMES]
EmHow to get to Hadestown:
You’ll hCave to take the long way down
Through the Gunderground, under cover of night
DLaying low, staying out of sight
ain’t no Emcompass, brother, ain’t no map
Just a teClephone wire and a railroad track
Gkeep on walking and you don’t look back
’Til Dyou get to the bottomland
[ORPHEUS]
EmWait for Cme, I’m GcominDg
EmWait, I’m Ccoming Gwith Dyou
EmWait for Cme, I’m cGoming Dtoo
I’m coming Emtoo
[HERMES]
The River Styx is high and wide
CCinder bricks and razor wire
GWalls of iron and concrete
DHound dogs howling 'round the gate
Those dEmogs’ll lay down and play dead
If you gCot the bones, if you got the bread
But if aGll you got is your own two legs
DJust be glad you got ’em
[ORPHEUS and FATES]
EmWait for Cme, I’m GcominDg
EmWait, I’m Ccoming Gwith Dyou
EmWait for Cme, I’m GcominDg too
I’m coming Emtoo
EmWho are you?
EmWhere do you think you're going
EmWho are you?
EmWhy are you alone?
EmWho do you think you are?
EmWho are you to think you can walk a road no one ever walked before?
EmLa-la-la-la-la-la-la
Emla la-la la la la la
Emla la-la la la la...
[HERMES]
EmYou’re on the lam, you’re on the run
CDon’t give your name, you don’t have one
And Gdon’t look no one in the eye
TDhis town will try to suck you dry
They’ll Emsuck your brain, they’ll suck your breath
They’ll plCuck the heart right out your chest
They’ll trGuss you up in your Sunday best
And stuDff your mouth with cotton
[ORPHEUS and COMPANY]
EmWait for Cme, I’m GcominDg
EmWait, I’m Ccoming Gwith Dyou
EmWait for Cme, I’m Gcoming tDoo
I’m coming!
EmI’m coming, wait for me
CI hear the walls repeating
Dthe falling of my feet and
DIt sounds like drumming
EmAnd I am not alone
CI hear the rocks and stones
DEcho in my song
DI’m coming...
