Hermes:
And on the road to hell there was a lot of waiting
Chorus:
Mmm waiting
Hermes:
Everybody waiting on a train
Chorus:
Mmm Waiting on a lady with a
Hermes:
Waiting on a train to bring that lady
Chorus:
Mmm lady
Hermes:
With her suitcase back again
She's never early, always late
Chorus:
Waiting, waiting
Hermes:
These days she never stays for long
But good things come to those who wait
Here she comes
Persephone:
Well it's like he said I'm an outdoor girl
Hermes:
'Bout time you came up for air
Persephone:
Married to the king of the underworld
Hermes:
Did you get lost down there?
Persephone:
Are you wondering where I've been
Man 1:
Yeah!
Woman:
Where you been?
Man 2:
I'm wondering!
Persephone:
Been to hell and back again
But let me tell you something
Hermes:
Aight
Persephone:
Brother when you're down you're down
When you're up you're up
If you ain't six feet underground
You're living it up on top
Let's not talk about hard times
Pour the wine, it's Summertime
'Cause right now we're living it
Hermes:
How are we living it?
Persephone:
Living it, living it up
Brother right here we're living it
Hermes:
Where are we living it?
Persephone:
Living it up on top
Orpheus:
Up on top times might be hard
But we're living it, living it up
We've got our beating hearts
Living it up on top
We got breath inside our lungs
And we're living it, living it up
Let's spend it singing songs
Living it up on top
Brother let us sing together
Gonna let the music play
We're gonna get this band to
Blow the hard times all away
'Cause the winter days were long
But this Summer night is young
And right now we're living it
Chorus:
How are we living it?
Orpheus:
Living it, living it up
Brother right here we're living it
Chorus:
Where are we living it?
Orpheus:
Living it up on top
Hermes:
And that was how the Summer went
Persephone:
Oh, I'm just getting started
Hermes:
The flowers bloomed, the fruit got ripe
Persephone:
Who says times are hard?
Hermes:
If only for a moment
Persephone:
Anybody want a drink?
Hermes:
The world came back to life
Persephone:
Up on top we ain't got much
But we're
Persephone and Chorus:
living it, living it up
Persephone:
Just enough to fill our cups
Persephone and Chorus:
Living it up on top
Persephone:
Brother, pass that bottle around
Cause we're
Persephone and Chorus:
living it, living it up
Hermes:
Let the poet bless this round
Orpheus:
To the patroness of all of this, Persephone
Who has finally returned to us
with this fruit of the vine we share
May she stay a while this time,
Long enough to pour the wine
In every cup, in every hand
Til hard times come again
And we can all recall this night
When we raised our cups up high
And if no one takes too much
There will always be enough
She will always fill our cups
And we will always raise them up
To the world we dream about
And the one we live in now.
'Cause right now we're living it
Chorus:
How are we living it?
Orpheus:
Living it, living it up
Brother right here we're living it
Chorus:
Where are we living it?
Orpheus:
Listen here I'll tell you where we're living it:
Up on top
Chorus:
Up on top
Orpheus:
Living it up and we ain't gonna stop
Living it, living it,
All:
Living it, living it up on top
