Livin' it Up on Top - Amber Gray/André De Shields/Reeve Carney/Hadestown Original Broadway Company

作词：Anaïs Mitchell

And on the road to hell there was a lot of waiting

Mmm

Waiting

Everybody waiting on a train

Mmm

Waiting on a lady with a

Waiting on a train to bring that lady

Mmm

Lady

With the suitcase back again

She's never early always late

Waiting

These days she never stays for long

But good things come to those who wait

Here she comes

Well it's like he said I'm an outdoor girl

And you're late again

Married to the king of the underworld

She forgot a little thing called spring

Are you wondering where I've been

Where you been

I'm wondering

Been to hell and back again

But like my mama always said：

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 livin' it

How are we livin' it

Livin' it livin' it livin' it up

Oh brother right here we're livin' it

Where are we livin' it

Livin' it up on top

Who makes the summer sun shine bright

That's right Persephone

Who makes the fruit of the vine get ripe

Persephone

That's me

Who makes the flowers bloom again in spite of a man

You do

Who's doing the best she can

Persephone that's who

Now some might say the weather ain't the way it used to be

But let me tell you something that my mama said to me

You take what you can get and you make the most of it

So right now we're livin' it

How are we livin' it

Livin' it livin' it livin' it up

Oh brother right here we're livin' it

Where are we livin' it

Livin' it up on top

It was summertime on the road to hell

Mmm

There was a girl who had always run away

Mmm

You might say it was in spite of herself

Mmm Mmm Mmm

That this young girl decided to stay

There was a poor boy with a lyre

Who says times are hard

The flowers bloomed and the fruit got ripe

And brother for a moment there

Anybody want a drink

The world came back to life

Ohhhh

Up on top we ain't got much

But we're

Livin' it Livin' it livin' it up

Just enough to fill our cups

Livin' it up on top

Brother pass that bottle around

'Cause we're

Livin' it livin' it livin' it up

Let the poet bless this round

To the patroness of all of this Persephone

Who has finally returned to us with wine enough to share

Asking nothing in return except that we should live

And learn to live as brothers in this life

And to trust she will provide

And if no one takes too much there will always be enough

She will always fill our cups

I will

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 livin' it

How are we livin' it

Livin' it livin' it livin' it up

Oh brother right here we're livin' it

Where are we livin' it

Listen here I'll tell you where

We're livin' it up on top

Up on top

Livin' it up and we ain't gonna stop

Livin' it livin' it

Livin' it livin' it

How are we livin' it

Where are we livin' it

Livin' it livin' it

Livin' it livin' it

Livin' it up on top
