Wait for Me (”Hey, the big artiste...”) [Intro]
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Mr. Hermes!
[HERMES, spoken]
Hey, the big artiste!
Ain't you working on your masterpiece?
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Where's Eurydice?
[HERMES, spoken]
Brother, what do you care?
You'll find another muse somewhere
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Where is she?
[HERMES, spoken]
Why you wanna know?
[ORPHEUS]
Wherever she is, is where I'll go
[HERMES, spoken]
And what if I said she's down below?
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
Down below?
[HERMES, spoken]
Down below
Six-feet-under-the-ground below
She called your name before she went
But I guess you weren't listening
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
No...
[HERMES, spoken]
So...
Just how far would you go for her?
[ORPHEUS]
To the end of time
To the end of the earth
[HERMES, spoken]
You got a ticket?
[ORPHEUS, spoken]
No...?
[HERMES, spoken]
Yeah, I didn't think so
Course there is another way
But nah, I ain't supposed to say
[ORPHEUS]
Another way?
[HERMES, spoken]
Around the back
But that ain't easy walkin', Jack
It ain't for the sensitive of soul
So do you really wanna go?
[ORPHEUS]
With all my heart
[HERMES, spoken]
With all your heart?
Well, that's a start
