Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

Till you get to the bottomland

[Chorus]

Wait for me, I'm comin'

Wait, I'm comin' with you

Wait for me, I'm comin' too

I'm comin' too

[Verse 2]

River Styx is high and wide

Cinder bricks and razor wire

Walls of iron and concrete

Hound dogs howlin' 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

[Chorus]

Wait for me, I'm comin'

Wait, I'm comin' with you

Wait for me, I'm comin' too

I'm comin' too

[Bridge]

Who are you?

Where do you think you're goin'?

Who are you?

Why are you all alone?

Who do you think you are?

Who are you to think that you can walk the road that no one ever walked before?

[Bridge]

La, la-la-la, la-la, la

La, la-la-la, la-la, la

La, la-la-la, la-la, la

La, la-la-la, la-la, la-la, la, la-la

La, la-la-la, la-la, la

La, la-la-la, la-la, la (La, la-la-la)

La, la-la-la, la-la

[Verse 3]

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'll 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

[Chorus]

Wait for me, I'm comin' (I'm comin')

Wait, I'm comin' with you

Wait for me, I'm comin' too (I'm comin' too)

I'm comin', wait

[Outro]

I'm comin', wait for me

Wait

I hear the walls repeating

Wait

The fallin' of my feet and

It sounds like drummin'

Wait

And I am not alone

Wait

I hear the rocks and stones

Wait

Echoin' my song

I'm comin' (Comin', comin')
