[HERMES, spoken]
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

[ORPHEUS]
Wait for me, I'm comin'
Wait, I'm comin' with you
Wait for me, I'm comin' too
I'm comin' too

[HERMES, spoken]
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
