Livin' it Up on Top

Lyrics

And on the road to hell, there was a lot of waiting
 Mmm...
 Waiting
 Everybody waiting on a train
 Mmm...
 Waiting on a lady with a
 Waiting on a train to bring that lady
 Mmm...
 Lady
 With the suitcase back again
 She's never early, always late
 Waiting
 These days she never stays for long
 But good things come to those who wait
 ♪
 Here she comes!
 Well it's like he said, I'm an outdoor girl
 And you're late again
 Married to the king of the underworld
 She forgot a little thing called spring
 Are you wondering where I've been?
 Where you been?
 I'm wondering
 Been to hell, and back again
 But like my mama always said:
 Brother when you're down, you're down
 When you're up, you're up
 If you ain't six feet underground, you're living it up on top
 Let's not talk about hard times
 Pour the wine, it's summertime!
 'Cause right now we're livin' it
 How are we livin' it?
 Livin' it, livin' it up
 Oh brother, right here we're livin' it
 Where are we livin' it?
 Livin' it up on top
 Who makes the summer sun shine bright?
 That's right, Persephone!
 Who makes the fruit of the vine get ripe
 Persephone!
 That's me
 Who makes the flowers bloom again
 In spite of a man?
 You do!
 Who's doing the best she can?
 Persephone, that's who
 Now some might say
 The weather ain't the way it used to be
 But let me tell you something
 That my mama said to me
 You take what you can get
 And you make the most of it
 So right now we're livin' it
 How are we livin' it?
 Livin' it, livin' it up
 Oh brother, right here we're livin' it
 Where are we livin' it?
 Livin' it up on top
 It was summertime on the road to hell
 Mmm...
 There was a girl who had always run away
 Mmm...
 You might say it was in spite of herself
 Mmm, Mmm, Mmm...
 That this young girl decided to stay
 There was a poor boy with a lyre
 Who says times are hard?
 The flowers bloomed and the fruit got ripe
 And brother for a moment there
 Anybody want a drink?
 The world came back to life!
 ♪
 Ohhhh...
 ♪
 Up on top, we ain't got much
 But we're
 Livin' it up
 Just enough to fill our cups
 Livin' it up on top
 Brother pass that bottle around
 'Cause we're
 Livin' it, livin' it up
 Let the poet bless this round
 ♪
 To the patroness of all of this
 Persephone
 Who has finally returned to us with wine enough to share
 Asking nothing in return except that we should live
 And learn to live as brothers in this life
 And to trust she will provide
 And if no one takes too much
 There will always be enough
 She will always fill our cups
 I will
 And we will always raise them up
 To the world we dream about
 And the one we live in now
 
 'Cause right now we're livin' it
 How are we livin' it?
 Livin' it up
 Oh brother, right here we're livin' it
 Where are we livin' it?
 Listen here, I'll tell you where
 We're livin' it up on top
 Up on top!
 Livin' it up and we ain't gonna stop
 Livin' it, livin' it
 Livin' it, livin' it
 How are we livin' it?
 Where are we livin' it?
 Livin' it, livin' it
 Livin' it, livin' it
 Livin' it up on top!
