tomato-bird: HERMES River Styx is high and wide Cinderbricks and razorwireWalls of iron and concreteHound dogs howling round the gateThem dogs’ll lay down and play deadIf you got the bones, if you got the breadBut if all you got is your own two legsYou best be glad you got ’emORPHEUSWait for me, I’m comingWait, I’m coming with youWait for me, I’m coming tooI’m coming toHERMESYou’re on the lam, you’re on the runDon’t give your name, you don’t have oneAnd don’t look no one in the eyeThat town will try to suck you dryThey’ll suck your brain, They’ll suck your breathThey’ll pluck the heart right out your chestThey’ll truss you up in your Sunday bestAnd stuff your mouth with cotton -“Wait for Me” from the folk opera/concept album Hadestown by Anaïs Mitchell, a retelling of the myth of Orpheus set in post-apocalyptic Depression America.
