[FATE, spoken] They can hear But they don't care No one has a name down here
[FATES] Mr. Hades set you free To work yourself into the ground Free to spend eternity In the factory and the warehouse Where the whistles scream And the foreman shouts And you're punchin' in And punchin' in And punchin' in And you can't punch out, and you’re-
Way down Hadestown (Oh, keep your head, keep your head low) Way down Hadestown (Oh, you gotta keep your head low) Way down Hadestown (If you wanna keep your head) Way down under the ground! (Keep your head low)
[EURYDICE, spoken] Why won't anybody look at me?
[FATES, spoken] They can look But they don't see You see, it's easier that way Your eyes will look like that someday
Down in the river of oblivion You kissed your little life goodbye And Hades laid his hands on you And gave you everlasting life! And everlasting overtime In the mine, in the mill, and the machinery Your place on the assembly line Replaces all your memories
Way down Hadestown (Oh, keep your head, keep your head low) Way down Hadestown (Oh, you gotta keep your head low) Way down Hadestown (If you wanna keep your head) Way down under the ground! (Keep your head low)
[EURYDICE, spoken] What do you mean I'll look like that?
[FATES, spoken] That's what it looks like to forget
[EURYDICE, spoken] Forget what?
[FATES, spoken] Who you are And everything that came before
[EURYDICE, spoken] I have to go
[FATES, spoken] Go where?
[EURYDICE, spoken] Go back!
[FATE, spoken] Oh? And where is that? So what was your name again? You've already forgotten
[HERMES, spoken] You see, it’s like I said before: A lot can happen behind closed doors Eurydice was a hungry young girl, but she wasn’t hungry anymore What she was instead, was dead- Dead to the world, anyway You see, she went behind those doors And signed her life away
[FATES] Saw that wheel up in the sky Heard the big bell tolling A lot of souls have gotta die To keep the Rust Belt rollin' A lot of spirits gotta break To make the underworld go 'round Way down Hadestown Way down under the ground!Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
