"Hurry Me Down To Hades" lyrics

"Hurry Me Down To Hades"

I was checking in at the night window
I was buzzing the bell at purgatory's hotel
But alas, no vacancy
Hurry, hurry, hurry me down to Hades
A lotus eater, bound by bliss
Sank deeper and deeper into the abyss
I got so close, almost could see
Hurry, hurry, hurry me down to Hades
Hurry, hurry, hurry me down to Hades

Hurry me down
Hurry me down
Hurry me down

A line of cars pulled over to the shoulder
Letting my ambulance drive by
These paramedics will never take me alive
Hurry, hurry, hurry me down to Hades
And as my life flashed before my eyes
They shocked me once, then they shocked me twice
With my last breath I gasped and screamed
Hurry, hurry, hurry me down to Hades
Hurry, hurry, hurry me down to Hades

Hurry me down
Hurry me down, down, down, down
Spent my whole life just waiting around
I'll never get a halo, never get a crown
So hurry, hurry, hurry me down, down
Hurry, hurry, hurry me down

Hurry me down

Heaven forbid I wake up tomorrow
With soul trapped in bone and skin
I'm banging on the door, devil let me in
Hurry, hurry, hurry me down to Hades
And I don't mind sharing a room
With a cannibal at The Crossed Harpoons
Odysseus's ship just passing through
Hurry, hurry, hurry me down to Hades
Hurry, hurry, hurry me down to Hades

Hurry me down
Hurry me down, down, down, down
Spent my whole life just waiting around
I'll never get a halo, never get a crown
So hurry, hurry, hurry me down, down
Down, down, down, down
Spent my whole life just waiting around
I'll never get a halo, never get a crown
So hurry, hurry, hurry me down, down
Hurry, hurry, hurry me down
