[COMPANY] Low, keep your head, keep your head low Oh, you gotta keep your head low If you wanna keep your head Oh, you gotta keep your head low Keep your head, keep your head low Oh, you gotta keep your head low If you wanna keep your head Oh, you gotta keep your head --
[PERSEPHONE] In the coldest time of year, Why is it so hot down here? Hotter than a crucible It ain't right and it ain't natural
[HADES] Lover, you were gone so long Lover, I was lonesome So I built a foundry In the ground beneath your feet Here, I fashioned things of steel Oil drums and automobiles Then I kept that furnace fed With the fossils of the dead Lover, when you feel that fire, Think of it as my desire Think of it as my desire for you!
[ORPHEUS] I'll sing a song of a love gone wrong
[HERMES, spoken] A love gone wrong, all right! Every year they have this fight!
[ORPHEUS] La la la la la la la…
[COMPANY] Low, keep your head, keep your head low Oh, you gotta keep your head low If you wanna keep your head Oh, you gotta keep your head low Keep your head, keep your head low Oh, you gotta keep your head low If you wanna keep your head-
[EURYDICE] Lover, while you sing your song Winter is a-comin' on See, I'm stacking firewood See, I'm putting by some food Orpheus, all the pretty songs you sing Ain't gonna shelter us From the wind, the wind, the wind
[PERSEPHONE] In the darkest time of year, Why is it so bright down here? Brighter than a carnival It ain't right and it ain't natural
[HADES] Lover, you were gone so long Lover, I was lonesome So I laid a power grid In the ground on which you stood And wasn't it electrifying When I made the neon shine! Silver screen, cathode ray Brighter than the light of day Lover, when you see that glare Think of it as my despair Think of it as my despair for you!
[ORPHEUS] I'll sing a song of a love gone wrong
[HERMES, spoken] And when the gods are having a fight, Everybody else better hold on tight!
[ORPHEUS] La la la la la la la…
[COMPANY] Low, keep your head, keep your head low Oh, you gotta keep your head low If you wanna keep your head Oh, you gotta keep your head low Keep your head, keep your head low Oh, you gotta keep your head low If you wanna keep your head-
[EURYDICE] While my lover sings his song Everything I've saved is gone Nothing left upon the shelf Fire ain't gonna light itself Now I see all the pretty songs he sings Ain't gonna harbor me From the wind, the wind, the wind
[COMPANY] Oooh...
[PERSEPHONE] Every year, it's getting worse Hadestown, hell on Earth! Did you think I'd be impressed With this neon necropolis? I recall there was a time We were happy, you and I In the garden where we met Nothing was between us yet Back before your factories Before your electricity Back before you built the wall It ain't right and it ain't natural
[HADES] Lover, everything I do I do it for the love of you If you don't even want my love, I'll give it to someone who does Someone grateful for their fate Someone who appreciates The comforts of a gilded cage And doesn't try and fly away The moment Mother Nature calls Someone who can love these walls To hold her close and keep her safe And think of them as my embrace
[ORPHEUS] Singing: la la la la la la la...
[COMPANY] Low, keep your head, keep your head low
[EURYDICE] Shelter us
[HADES] Think of them as my embrace
[ORPHEUS] La la la la la la la...
[COMPANY] Low, keep your head, keep your head-
[EURYDICE] Harbor me
[HADES] Think of them as my embrace Of you Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa. |
