For youCopy !req
670. - They can't find the tune

By a river of stoneCopy !req
673. Poor boy, working on a song.Copy !req
674. And Lady Persephone's blinded
By a river of wineCopy !req
675. Living in an oblivionCopy !req
676. He did not see
the storm coming on.Copy !req
677. His black gold flows
In the world down belowCopy !req
678. And her dark clouds roll
In the one up aboveCopy !req
679. - Look up.
- Keep your head lowCopy !req
680. And that is the reason
We're on this roadCopy !req
681. And the seasons are wrongCopy !req
682. And the wind is so strongCopy !req
683. That's why times are so hard
It's because of the godsCopy !req
684. The gods have forgotten
The song of their loveCopy !req
685. - Singing, laaa la la la
- Oh, keep your headCopy !req
686. - La la la laaa

691. Oh, you gotta keep
Your head lowCopy !req
692. Laaa la la la la!Copy !req
693. Looking low
And looking highCopy !req
694. There is no food left to findCopy !req
695. It's hard enough
To feed yourselfCopy !req
696. Let alone somebody elseCopy !req
697. I'm trying to believeCopy !req
698. That the song
He's working onCopy !req
699. Is gonna harbor meCopy !req
700. - From the wind
- The windCopy !req
701. Eurydice was

710. Only took a minute.Copy !req
711. Harbor meCopy !req

of the gods was in it.Copy !req
713. Every year it's getting worse
Hadestown, hell on earth!Copy !req
714. Did you think
I'd be impressedCopy !req
715. With this neon necropolis?Copy !req
716. Lover, what have you become?Copy !req
717. Coal cars and oil drumsCopy !req
718. Warehouse walls
And factory floorsCopy !req
719. I don't know you anymoreCopy !req
720. And in the meantime
Up aboveCopy !req
721. The harvest dies
And people starveCopy !req
722. Oceans rise and overflowCopy !req
723. It ain't right
And it ain't naturalCopy !req
724. - A-ooh!
- Lover, everything I doCopy !req
725. - Kkh!
- I do it for the love of youCopy !req
726. If you don't even want my loveCopy !req
727. I'll give it to
Someone who doesCopy !req
728. Someone grateful for her fateCopy !req
729. Someone who appreciatesCopy !req
730. The comforts of a gilded cageCopy !req
731. And doesn't try to fly awayCopy !req
732. The moment Mother Nature callsCopy !req
733. Someone who would
Love these wallsCopy !req
734. That hold her close
And keep her safeCopy !req
735. And think of them as my embraceCopy !req
736. - Singing, la la la la la la la

I got riots to quellCopy !req
748. And they're giving me hell
Back in HadesCopy !req
749. Hey, little songbird
Cat got your tongueCopy !req
750. Always a pity for one
So pretty and youngCopy !req
751. When poverty comesCopy !req
752. To clip your wingsCopy !req
753. And knock the wind
Right out of your lungsCopy !req
754. Hey, nobody sings
On emptyCopy !req
755. Strange is the call
Of this strange manCopy !req
756. I wanna fly down
And feed at his handCopy !req
757. I want a nice
Soft place to landCopy !req
758. I want to lie down foreverCopy !req
759. Hey, little songbird
You got something fineCopy !req
760. You'd shine like a diamond
Down in the mineCopy !req

Nothing to loseCopy !req
763. And I could use a canaryCopy !req
764. Suddenly nothing is as it wasCopy !req
765. Where are you now
Orpheus?Copy !req

The two of us?Copy !req
767. Weren't we birds
Of a feather?Copy !req
768. Hey, little songbird
Let me guessCopy !req

And he's pennilessCopy !req
770. Give him your handCopy !req
771. He'll give you his
Hand-to-mouthCopy !req
772. He'll write you a poem
When the power is outCopy !req
773. Hey, why not fly south
For the winter?Copy !req
774. Hey, little songbird
Look all around youCopy !req
775. See how the vipers
And vultures surround youCopy !req

They'll pick you cleanCopy !req
777. If you stick around
Such a desperate sceneCopy !req
778. See, people get mean
When the chips are downCopy !req
779. Songbird versus rattlesnake.Copy !req

1219. But I only buyCopy !req
1220. what others choose to sell.Copy !req
1221. Oh, you didn't know?Copy !req

1247. If it's true that it's too lateCopy !req
1248. And the girl I love is goneCopy !req
1249. If it's true what they sayCopy !req
1250. Is this how the world is?Copy !req
1251. To be beaten and betrayedCopy !req
1252. And then be told
That nothing changesCopy !req

1270. Just to throw up
Both his handsCopy !req
1271. No hammer swingingCopy !req
1272. What's the use
Of his backbone?Copy !req
1273. No pickax ringCopy !req
1274. If he never stands uprightCopy !req
1275. And they stood and listenedCopy !req
1276. If he turns his back
On everyoneCopy !req
1277. To the poor boy singCopy !req
1278. That he could have
Stood besideCopy !req
1279. If it's true what they sayCopy !req
1280. I'll be on my wayCopy !req

How he sang tonightCopy !req
1351. You'd pity poor OrpheusCopy !req
1352. All of his sorrow
Won't fit in his chestCopy !req
1353. It just burns like a fire
In the pit of his chestCopy !req
1354. And his heart is a bird
On a spit in his chestCopy !req
1355. How long
How long, how longCopy !req
1356. How long?Copy !req
1357. Just as long
As Hades is KingCopy !req
1358. Nothing comes
Of wishing on starsCopy !req
1359. And nothing comes
Of the songs people singCopy !req
1360. However sorry they areCopy !req
1361. Give them a piece
And they'll take it allCopy !req
1362. Show them a crack
They'll tear down the wallCopy !req
1363. Lend them an ear
And the kingdom will fallCopy !req
1364. The kingdom will fall
For a songCopy !req

The earth must dieCopy !req
1376. But then the earth
Comes back to lifeCopy !req
1377. And the sun
Must go on risingCopy !req
1378. And how does the sun
Even fit in the sky?Copy !req
1379. It just burns like a fire
In the pit of the skyCopy !req
1380. And the earth is a bird
On a spit in the skyCopy !req
1381. How long, how longCopy !req
1382. How long?Copy !req
1383. Now everybody knows
that walls have ears.Copy !req

1679. In the safety of a crowdCopy !req
1680. Bravery can be contagiousCopy !req
1681. When the band is playing loudCopy !req
1682. Nothing makes a man so boldCopy !req

like you planned.Copy !req
1697. - What do you mean?
- Why not?Copy !req
1698. Well, you won't be hand in hand.Copy !req
1699. You won't be arm in arm,
side by side, and all of that.Copy !req
1700. He said that you
have to walk in frontCopy !req
1701. and she has to walk in back.Copy !req
1702. Why?Copy !req
1703. And if you turn aroundCopy !req
1704. to make sure she's coming too,Copy !req
1705. then she goes back to Hadestown
and ain't nothing you can do.Copy !req
1706. But why?Copy !req
1707. Why build walls?Copy !req
1708. Make folks walk single file?Copy !req

1717. Alright, time to go.Copy !req
1718. Mister Hermes.Copy !req

In the streetCopy !req
1725. He bares some teeth
And tears some skinCopy !req
1726. But, brother
That's the worst of himCopy !req
1727. Now the dog
You really gotta dreadCopy !req
1728. Is the one that howls
Inside your headCopy !req
1729. It's him whose howling
Drives men madCopy !req
1730. And a mind to its undoingCopy !req
