[Hermes:]
2
How to get to Hadestown*
3
You'll have to take the long way down
4
Through the underground, under cover of night
5
Laying low, staying out of sight
6
Ain't no compass, brother, there ain't no map
7
Just a telephone wire and the railroad track
8
Keep on walking and you don't look back
9
'Til you get to the bottomland
10
[Orpheus:]
11
Wait for me, I'm coming
12
Wait, I'm coming with you
13
Wait for me, I'm coming too
14
I'm coming to
15
[Hermes:]
16
River Styx is high and wide
17
Cinderbricks and razorwire
18
Walls of iron and concrete
19
Hound dogs howling round the gate
20
Them dogs'll lay down and play dead
21
If you got the bones, if you got the bread
22
But if all you got is your own two legs
23
You best be glad you got 'em
24
[Orpheus:]
25
Wait for me, I'm coming
26
Wait, I'm coming with you
27
Wait for me, I'm coming too
28
I'm coming to
29
[Hermes:]
30
You're on the lam, you're on the run
31
Don't give your name, you don't have one
32
And don't look no one in the eye
33
That town will try to suck you dry
34
They'll suck your brain, they'll suck your breath
35
They'll pluck the heart right out your chest
36
They'll truss you up in your Sunday best
37
And stuff your mouth with cotton
38
[Orpheus:]
39
Wait for me, I'm coming
40
Wait, I'm coming with you
41
Wait for me, I'm coming too
42
I'm coming
43
Wait, wait, wait, wait
