the mechanisms - underworld blues (live) lyrics

[verse 1: ulysses & hades]
hades, hades
hear my petition please
my name is ulysses
i seek to bury my fractured memories
in the war, in the war
the horrors that i saw
saddled grief to my core
i can’t take it any more

ulysses, ulysses
you come here on your knees
begging for my release
but i warn you it ain’t that easy
in your mind, in your mind
the horrors is too entwined
the only peace that you will find
is in the refuge you yourself designed

[verse 2: heracles & hades]
hades, hades
i guess you managed to catch me
well, my name is heracles
i was sent here your dog to seize
[laughter]
of my tasks, of my tasks
this was to be the last
but i know there’s more they’ll ask
so if you’re gonna to k!ll me, better do it fast
heracles, heracles
you’re tired that’s plain to see
oh i might just set you free
but you’ve gotta do one thing for me
i’m inclined, oh i’m inclined
to send you to a friend of mine
he’s got a job i think you’ll find
will pay the debt to which you’re resigned

[verse 3: orpheus & hades]
hades, hades
hear my reprise
drifting gently on the breeze
as i beg for my true love’s release
all is hushed, all is hushed
for the song of orpheus
on my own i’m lost
i need my love back, whatever the cost

orpheus, orpheus
you bring your song to us
well, i can release a mind if i must
you’ve got the payments required i trust
you are poor, you are poor
what you need you can’t afford
but if you can thrive outside the law
i know a job that pays what you need and more
[outro: all, ulysses, heracles, orpheus]
hades, hades, to your terms i will agree
i’ll find the vault
i’ll do the job happily
i’ll find the money for my love
then i shall be free

[spoken: jonny d’ville]
“you know, i’ve gotta say i always enjoyed how you always went when we went down to planets. what is it, a god, or a crime boss, or a crime boss god. or… was there anything else?”

[ashes o’reilly]
“president.”

[jonny]
“oh! president, which one. oh yes. oh, yes.”

[ivy alexandria]
“they were also a crime boss.”

[jonny]
“i mean, yeah…”

[ashes]
“i mean, what president isn’t though.”

[jonny]
“when did the toy soldier get here? tim, you know what i told you, you let it back in.”
[gunpowder tim]
“i swear, the door was locked.”

[toy soldier]
“i’m just happy to be involved!”

[jonny]
“well good. anyway, at least it was better than useless prophesies.”

[drumbot brian]
“they were all true.”

[jonny]
“true and useful are+ let’s. let’s see for ourselves, shall we?”
