Livin' it Up on Top

And on the road to hell, there was a lot of waiting

Mmm...

Waiting

Everybody waiting on a train

Mmm...

Waiting on a lady with a

Waiting on a train to bring that lady

Mmm...

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

Oh 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!

That's 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

Oh 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

Mmm...

There was a girl who had always run away

Mmm...

You might say it was in spite of herself

Mmm, Mmm, Mmm...

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!

♪

Ohhhh...

♪

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

Oh 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!
