[Hermes]
Then Hades told Eurydice
[Hades]
There are papers to be signed
Step into my office
[Hermes]
And he closed the door behind
Now a lot can happen behind closed doors
That's for sure, brother, that's a fact
But a lot can happen on the factory floor
When the foreman turns his back
[Persephone]
Anybody want a drink?
