How to get to Hadestown
You have to take the long way down
Through the underground, under cover of night
Layin' low, stayin' out of sight
There ain't no compass, brother, ain't no map
Just a telephone wire and a railroad track
You keep on walkin' and you don't look back
'Til you get to the bottomland
Wait for me, I'm comin'
Wait, I'm comin' with you
Wait for me, I'm comin' too
I'm comin' too
The River Styx is high and wide
Cinder bricks and razor wire
Walls of iron and concrete
Hound dogs howlin' 'round the gate
Those dogs will 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 comin'
Wait, I'm comin' with you
Wait for me, I'm comin' too
I'm comin' too
Who are you?
Where do you think you're goin'?
Who are you?
Why are you all alone?
Who do you think you are?
Who are you to think that you can walk a road
That no one's ever walked before?
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
ย
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
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 will 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 comin' (I'm comin', I'm comin')
Wait, I'm comin' with you
Wait for me, I'm comin' too (I'm comin' too)
I'm comin', wait for me (wait)
I hear the walls repeating (wait)
The fallin' of our feet and
It sounds like drummin' (wait)
And I am not alone (wait)
I hear the rocks and stones (wait)
Echoin' our song
I'm comin' (I'm comin', I'm comin', I'm comin')
