Road to Hell

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!
