Wait for Me |
| How to get to Hadestown |
| You’ll have to take the long way down |
| Through the underground, under cover of night |
| Laying low, staying out of sight |
| Ain’t no compass, brother, there ain’t no map |
| Just a telephone wire and the railroad track |
| Keep on walking and you don’t look back |
| 'Til you get to the bottomland |
| Wait for me, I’m coming |
| Wait, I’m coming with you |
| Wait for me, I’m coming too |
| I’m coming too |
| River Styx is high and wide |
| Cinderbricks and razorwire |
| Walls of iron and concrete |
| Hound dogs howling round the gate |
| Them 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 |
| You best be glad you got 'em |
| Wait for me, I’m coming |
| Wait, I’m coming with you |
| Wait for me, I’m coming too |
| I’m coming too |
| 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 will 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 |
| Wait, I’m coming with you |
| Wait for me, I’m coming too |
| I’m coming |
| Wait, wait, wait, wait |
