And on the road to hell there was a lot of waiting
Everybody waiting on a train
Waiting on a lady with a
Waiting on a train to bring that lady 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 up
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 thats 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 up
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
There was a girl who had always run away
You might say it was in spite of herself
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
Up on top we ain't got much
But we're
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 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 up
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
