Letra de Hey, Little Songbird - Anais Mitchell

HADES
Hey, little songbird, give me a song / I'm a busy man and I can't stay long
I got clients to call, I got orders to fill / I got walls to build, I got riots to quell
And they're giving me hell back in Hades
Hey little songbird, cat got your tongue? / Always a pity for one so pretty and young
When poverty comes to clip your wings / And knock the wind right out of your lungs
Hey, nobody sings on empty
EURYDICE
Strange is the call of this strange man / I want to fly down and feed at his hand
I want a nice soft place to land / I want to lie down forever
HADES
Hey little songbird, you got something fine / You'd shine like a diamond down in the mine
And the choice is yours if you're willing to choose / Seeing as you've got nothing to lose

And I could use a canary
EURYDICE
Suddenly nothing is as it was / Where are you now, Orpheus?
Wasn't it always the two of us / Weren't we birds of a feather?
HADES
Hey little songbird, let me guess / He's some kind of poet- and he's penniless
Give him your hand, he'll give you his hand-to-mouth / He'll write you a poem when the power's out
Hey, why not fly south for the winter?
Hey little songbird, look all around you / See how the vipers and vultures surround you
They'll take you down, they'll pick you clean / If you stick around such a desperate scene
See people get mean when the chips are down
