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
