Wait for Me [”Hey, the big artiste...] [Intro] lyrics

[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
