Road to Hell

Lyrics

Once upon a time there was a railroad line
 Don't ask where, brother, don't ask why
 It was the road to Hell
 It was hard times
 It was a world of gods
 And men
 It's an old song
 It's an old song
 It's an old tale from way back when
 It's an old song
 It's an old song
 And we're gonna sing it again
 Gods and men aight
 We got some gods in the house tonight
 See on the road to Hell there was a railroad line
 And there were three old women all dressed the same
 And they was always singin' in the back of your mind
 Everybody meet the Fates!
 And on the road to Hell there was a railroad line
 And a lady steppin' off a train
 With a suitcase full of summertime
 Persephone, by name
 And if you ride that train
 Ride that train
 If you ride that train
 Ride that train
 If you ride that train to the end of the line
 Where the the sun don't shine and it's always shady
 It's there you'll find the king of the mine
 All mighty mister Hades
 We got any other gods
 Oh right almost forgot
 On the road to Hell there was a railroad station
 And a man with feathers on his feet
 Who could help you to your final destination
 Mr. Hermes - that's me!
 See someone's got to tell the tale
 Whether or not it turns out well
 Maybe it will turn out this time
 On the road to Hell on the railroad line
 It's a sad song
 It's a sad song
 It's a sad tale, it's a tragedy
 It's a sad song
 It's a sad song
 We gonna sing it anyway
 Now not everyone gets to be a god
 And dont forget that times are hard
 Hard times in the world of men
 Let me introduce you to a few of them
 You can tip your hats and your wallets
 Brothers and sisters, boys and girls
 To the hardest working chorus
 In the gods almighty world
 And working just as hard for you
 Let's see what this crew can do
 Aight aight
 On the road to Hell there was a railroad line
 And a poor boy working on a song (la la la la la)
 His mama was a friend of mine
 And this boy was a Muse's son
 On the railroad line on the road to Hell
 You might say the boy was touched
 La la la la la
 Cause he was touched by the gods themselves
 Give it up for Orpheus
 Orpheus
 There was one more soul on this road
 Girl come on in from the cold
 On the railroad line on the road to Hell
 There was a young girl looking for something to eat
 And brother, thus begins the tale
 Of Orpheus and Eurydice!
 It's a love song
 It's a love song
 It's a tale of a love from long ago
 It's a sad song
 It's a sad song
 But we're gonna sing it even so
 It's an old song
 It's an old song
 It's an old tale from way back when a
 And we're gonna sing
 We're gonna sing
 We're gonna sing it again
 Again! Again!
