Lyrics
[Verse 1]
How to get to Hades Town
You'll have to take the long way down
Through the underground, in the cover of night
Laying low, staying out of sight
Ain't no compass, brother, there 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
[Verse 2]
Wait for me, I'm coming
Wait, I'm coming with you
Wait for me, I'm coming too
I'm coming too
[Verse 3]
River Styx is high and wide
Cinder bricks and razor wire
The walls of iron and concrete
And 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
Just best be glad you got 'em
[Verse 4]
Wait for me, I'm coming
Wait, I'm coming with you
Wait for me, I'm coming too
I'm coming too
[Verse 5]
You're on the lam, you're on the run
Don't give your name if you don't have one
Don't look no one in the eye
The town will try to suck you dry
They'll suck your brain and they'll suck your breath
And pluck the heart right out your chest
They'll dress you up in your Sunday best
Stuff your mouth with cotton
[Verse 6]
Wait for me (I'm coming) I'm coming
Wait, I'm coming with you
Wait for me (I'm coming too) I'm coming too
I'm coming
Wait, wait, wait, wait
