[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
