Low, keep your head, keep your head low
Oh, you gotta keep your head low
If you wanna keep your head
Oh, you gotta keep your head low
Keep your head, keep your head low
Oh, you gotta keep your head low
If you wanna keep your head
Oh, you gotta keep your head

PERSEPHONE
In the coldest time of year
Why is it so hot down here
Hotter than a crucible
It ain't right and it ain't natural

HADES
Lover, you were gone so long
Lover, I was lonesome
So I built a foundry
In the ground beneath your feet
Here, I fashioned things of steel
Oil drums and automobiles
Then I kept that furnace fed
With the fossils of the dead
Lover, when you feel that fire
Think of it as my desire
Think of it as my desire for you

ORPHEUS
La la la la
La la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la

La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la

COMPANY, ORPHEUS, EURYDICE, and HERMES
Low, keep your head, keep your head low La la la la la la la��
Oh, you gotta keep your head low Is it finished
If you wanna keep your head La la la la la la la��
Oh, you gotta keep your head low Not yet
Keep your head, keep your head low La la la la la la la��
Oh, you gotta keep your head low Is he always like this
If you wanna keep your head-

EURYDICE and FATES
Looking high and looking low
For the food and firewood I know we need to find
And I am keeping one eye on the sky
And try to trust that the song he's working on Oooooh
Is gonna shelter us Oooooh
From the wind, the wind, the wind Oooooh

PERSEPHONE
In the darkest time of year
Why is it so bright down here
Brighter than a carnival
It ain't right and it ain't natural

HADES
Lover, you were gone so long
Lover, I was lonesome
So I laid a power grid
In the ground on which you stood
And wasn't it electrifying
When I made the neon shine
Silver screen, cathode ray
Brighter than the light of day
Lover, when you see that glare
Think of it as my despair
Think of it as my despair for you

ORPHEUS
I can't find the tune

HERMES, spoken
Orpheus

ORPHEUS
I can't feel the rhythm

HERMES, spoken
Orpheus

ORPHEUS
King Hades is deafened by a river of stone

HERMES, spoken
Poor boy working on a song

ORPHEUS
And Lady Persephone's blinded by a river of wine
Livin' in an oblivion

HERMES, spoken
He did not see the storm coming on

ORPHEUS and FATES
His black gold flows Oooooh
In the world down below Oooooh
And her dark clouds roll in the one up above

HERMES
Look up

COMPANY
Keep your head low

ORPHEUS
And that is the reason we're on this road
And the seasons are wrong
And the wind is so strong
That's why times are so hard
It's because of the gods
The gods have forgotten the song of their love

Singing la la la la la la��

COMPANY and ORPHEUS
Low, keep your head, keep your head low
Oh, you gotta keep your head low
If you wanna keep your head La la la la la la la...
Oh, you gotta keep your head low
Keep your head, keep your head low La la la la la la la...
Oh, you gotta keep your head low
If you wanna keep your head- La la la la la la

EURYDICE
Lookin' low and lookin' high

FATES
There is no food left to find
It's hard enough to feed yourself
Let alone somebody else

EURYDICE
I'm trying to believe
That the song he's working on
Is gonna harbor me from

EURYDICE and FATES
The wind, the wind, the wind

HERMES, spoken
Eurydice was a hungry young girl

EURYDICE, spoken
Give that back

HERMES, spoken
She was no stranger to the wind

EURYDICE, spoken
It's everything we have

HERMES, spoken
But she had not seen nothing

EURYDICE
Orpheus

HERMES, spoken
Like the mighty storm she got caught in

EURYDICE
spoken
Orpheus
sung
Shelter us

HERMES, spoken
Only took a minute

EURYDICE
Harbor me

HERMES, spoken
But the wrath of the gods was in it

PERSEPHONE
Every year, it's getting worse
Hadestown, hell on Earth
Did you think I'd be impressed
With this neon necropolis
Lover, what have you become
Coal cars and oil drums
Warehouse walls and factory floors
I don't know you anymore
And in the meantime up above
The harvest dies and people starve
Oceans rise and overflow
It ain't right and it ain't natural

HADES
Lover, everything I do
I do it for the love of you
If you don't even want my love
I'll give it to someone who does
Someone grateful for her fate
Someone who appreciates
The comforts of a gilded cage
And doesn't try to fly away
The moment Mother Nature calls
Someone who could love these walls
That hold her close and keep her safe
And think of them as my embrace

ORPHEUS and COMPANY
Singing: la la la la la la la... Low, keep your head, keep your head low

EURYDICE
Shelter us

HADES
Think of them as my embrace

ORPHEUS and COMPANY
La la la la la la la... Low, keep your head, keep your head-

EURYDICE
Harbor me

HADES
Think of them as my embrace
Of you
