[hermes]
once upon a time there was a railroad line
don’t ask where, brother don’t ask when
it was a road to h+ll
it was hard times
it was a world of gods+ and men!
it’s an old song
[chorus]
it’s an old song!

[hermes]
it’s an old tale from way back when
it’s an old song

[chorus]
it’s an old song!

[hermes]
and we’re going to sing it again
gods and men, alright!
we got some gods in the house tonight
see on the road to h+ll there was a railroad line
and there was three old women all dressed the same
and they was always singing in the back of your mind
everybody, meet the fates!

and on the road to h+ll there was a railroad linе
and a lady stepping off a train
with a suitcase full of summertimе
persephone, by name
and if you ride that train

[chorus]
ride that train
[hermes]
and if you ride that train

[chorus]
ride that train

[hermes]
if you ride that train to the end of the line
where the sun don’t shine and its always shady
it’s there you’ll find the king of the mine
oh, mighty mister hades

we got any other gods?
oh yeah, almost forgot
on the road to h+ll there was a railroad station
and a god with feather on their feet
who can help you to your final destination
yes, it’s hermes, that’s me!

[hermes]
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 h+ll
on the railroad line
it’s a sad song
[chorus]
it’s a sad song!

[hermes]
it’s a sad tale, it’s a tragedy
it’s a sad song

[chorus]
it’s a sad song!

[hermes]
we’re gonna sing it anyway!
now not everyone gets to be a god
and don’t forget that times are hard
hard times in the world of men
and let me introduce you to a few of them
you can tip your hats and your wallets
with your pennies or your pearls
to the hardest working chorus
in the gods’ almighty world!
and working just as hard for you
let’s see what this group can do!

(instrumental break)

[hermes]
alright
alright
alright
on the road to h+ll there was a railroad line
and a poor boy working on a song

[orpheus]
la+la+la+la+la+la+la…

[hermes]
his mama was a friend of mine
and this boy was a muses’ son
on the railroad line on the road to h+ll
you might say the boy was touched

[orpheus]
la+la+la+la+la+la+la…

[hermes]
‘cus 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 h+ll
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

[chorus]
it’s a love song!

hermes
it’s a tale of long from long ago
it’s a sad song

[chorus]
it’s a sad song!

[hermes]
and we’re going to sing it even so
it’s an old song!

[chorus]
it’s an old song!

[hermes]
it’s an old tale from way back when
and we’re gonna sing+
we’re gonna sing+
and we’re gonna sing it again!
again!
again!
again!
again!
again!
again!
again!
