[Orpheus]
Mr. Hermes!
[Hermes]
Hey, the big artiste!
Ain't you working on your masterpiece?
[Orpheus]
Where's Eurydice?
[Hermes]
Brother, what do you care?
You'll find another muse somewhere
[Orpheus]
Where is she?
[Hermes]
Why you wanna know?
[Orpheus]
Wherever she is, is where I'll go
[Hermes]
And what if I said she's down below?
[Orpheus]
Down below?
[Hermes]
Down below
Six-feet-under-the-ground below
She called your name before she went
But I guess you weren't listening
[Orpheus]
No
[Hermes]
So
Just how far would you go for her?
[Orpheus]
To the end of time
To the end of the earth
[Hermes]
You got a ticket?
[Orpheus]
No?
[Hermes]
Yeah, I didn't think so
Course there is another way
But nah, I ain't supposed to say
[Orpheus]
Another way?
[Hermes]
Around the back
But that ain't easy walkin', Jack
It ain't for the sensitive of soul
So do you really wanna go?
[Orpheus]
With all my heart
[Hermes]
With all your heart?
Well, that's a start
