Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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, ain't no map

Just a telephone wire and a railroad track

Keep on walking and don't look back

Till you get to the bottomland

[Chorus]

Wait for me, I'm coming

Wait, I'm coming with you

Wait for me, I'm coming too

I'm coming too

[Verse 2]

River Styx is high and wide

Cinderbricks and razorwire

Walls of iron and concrete

Hound dogs howling 'round the gate

Those dogs will 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 them

[Chorus]

Wait for me, I'm coming

Wait, I'm coming with you

Wait for me, I'm coming too

I'm coming too

[Bridge]

Who are you?

Where do you think you're going?

Who are you?

Why are you all alone?

Who do you

Think you are?

Who are you

To think that you can walk a road that no one ever walked before?

[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 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

[Chorus]

Wait for me, I'm coming

Wait, I'm coming with you

Wait for me, I'm coming too, I'm coming

[Bridge]

I'm coming, wait for me

I hear the walls repeating

The falling of my feet, and

It sounds like drumming

And I am not alone

I hear the rocks and stones

Echoing my song

I'm comin'
