Lyrics

How to get to Hadestown: You'll have to take the long way down Through the underground, under cover of night Laying low, staying out of sight There ain't no compass, brother, ain't no map Just a telephone wire and the railroad track You keep on walking and you don't look back 'Til you get to the bottomland Wait for me, I'm coming Wait, I'm coming with you Wait for me, I'm coming too I'm coming too The River Styx is high and wide Cinder bricks and razor wire Walls of iron and concrete Hound dogs howling 'round the gate Those dogs'll lay down and play dead If you got the bones, if you got the bread But if all you got is your own two legs Just be glad you got 'em Wait for me, I'm coming Wait, I'm coming with you Wait for me, I'm coming too I'm coming too Who are you? Where do you think you're going? Who are you? {FATE] Why are you all alone? Who do you- -Think you are? Who are you- {FATE] -To think that you can walk a road that no one ever walked before? {OPHEUS] La la la la la la La la la la la la la (The COMPANY begins to echo and do rounds) La la la la la la la La la la la la (HERMES cuts them off) You're on the lam, you're on the run Don't give your name, you don't have one And don't look no one in the eye That town'll try to suck you dry They'll suck your brain, they'll suck your breath They'll pluck the heart right out your chest They'll truss you up in your Sunday best And stuff your mouth with cotton Wait for me, (I'm coming!) I'm coming (I'm coming) Wait, I'm coming with you (I'm coming) Wait (Wait I'm coming) for me, I'm coming too I'm coming! Wait! I'm coming wait for me Wait! I hear the walls repeating Wait! The falling of my feet and It sounds like drumming Wait! And I am not alone Wait! I hear the rocks and stone Wait! Echoing my song I'm coming! Coming... Coming...
