13. Hey, Little Songbird | Hadestown (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

This is my favorite song from "Hadestown". Seriously, how can one sound so creepy and so seductive at the same time?

CAST:
Patrick Page as HADES
Eva Noblezada as EURYDICE
LYRICS:

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 wanna fly down and feed at his hand
I want a nice, soft place to land
I wanna 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 gonna be 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 is out
Hey, why not fly south for the winter?

Hey, little songbird
Look all around ya
See how the vipers
And vultures surround ya
And they'll cut you down
They'll pick you clean
If you stick around
Such a desperate scene
See, people get mean when the chips are down
