Lyrics

0:00How to get to hadestown
0:02You have to take the long way down
0:05Through the underground under cover of night
0:08Layin' low stayin' out of sight
0:10Ain't no compass brother ain't no map
0:13Just a telephone wire and a railroad track
0:16Keep on walkin' and don't look back
0:19'Til you get to the bottomland
0:21Wait for me I'm comin'
0:26Wait I'm comin' with you
0:32Wait for me I'm comin' too
0:37I'm coming too
0:38The river styx is high and wide
0:40Cinder bricks and razor wire
0:43Walls of iron and concrete
0:46Hound dogs howling 'round the gate
0:48Those dogs'll lay down and play dead
0:51If you got the bones if you got the bread
0:53But if all you got is your own two legs
0:56Just be glad you got 'em
0:59Wait for me I'm comin'
1:04Wait I'm comin' with you
1:09Wait for me I'm comin' too
1:14I'm coming too
1:17Who are you
1:20Where do you think you're going
1:22Who are you
1:25Why are you all alone
1:29Who do you-think you are
1:31Who are you-to think that you can walk
1:34A road that no one ever walked before
1:37La la la la la la
1:51La la la la la la la
1:57La la la la la la la
1:59La la la la la la la
2:03La la la la la la la
2:08La la la la la
2:09You're on the lam you're on the run
2:12Don't give your name you don't have one
2:14And don't look no one in the eye
2:17That town'll try to suck you dry
2:20They'll suck your brain they'll suck your breath
2:23They'll pluck the heart right out your chest
2:25They'll truss you up in your sunday best
2:28And stuff your mouth with cotton
2:30Wait for me I'm coming I'm coming I'm coming
2:36Wait I'm coming with you I'm coming
2:42Wait wait I'm coming for me I'm coming too
2:47I'm coming
2:47Wait
2:48I'm coming wait for me
2:49Wait
2:50I hear the walls repeating
2:52Wait
2:53The falling of my feet and
2:55It sounds like drumming
2:58Wait
2:59And I am not alone
3:00Wait
3:01I hear the rocks and stones
3:03Wait
3:04Echoing my song
3:07I'm coming
3:08Coming
3:10Coming
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
Ain't no compass brother ain't no map
Just a telephone wire and a railroad track
Keep on walkin' and 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 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 comin'
Wait I'm comin' with you
Wait for me I'm comin' too
I'm coming too
Who are you
Where do you think you're going
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 ever walked before
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 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'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 stones
Wait
Echoing my song
I'm coming
Coming
Coming
