We've got some guys in the house tonight. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Oh yeah.
Speaker A
Station on his feet. Heat. Heat. Now everyone gets to be a god, and don't forget the times of the world. Let me introduce you to the hospital brothers and sisters and girls.
Speaker A
I see what I'm working on. Was a friend of mine, and this boy was a music to hell.
Speaker A
You might say the boy was to touch the gods themselves. Give it up for There was one more soul on this road, and brother begins, and your mercy. Yeah.
Speaker A
Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat up here. Heat. Heat. Ooh. Ooh. Ooh. The greatest was a hungry young girl from everywhere she'd ever been.
Speaker A
She was no stranger to the world, no stranger to the king. Weather ain't the way it was before.
Speaker A
Ain't no spring or fall at all anymore. It's either blazing hot or freezing cold.
Speaker A
Anyway, the wind blows. And there is a thing that you can do when the weather takes a turn on you.
Speaker A
So hurry up and hit the road. Anyway, the wind blows. Wind comes up. Do you hear that sound? Wind comes up to another town. Ain't nobody going to stick around.
Speaker A
When the dark rolls in, anyway, you met the fates. Remember them. Think we've got a match.
Speaker A
Always sink in the back of your mind. Wherever it was, this young girl went, their face close behind.
Speaker A
People turn on you just like the wind. Everybody is a fair-weather friend.
Speaker A
But in the end, you're better off alone. Anyway, the wind blows. When your body aches to lay it down, when you're hungry, there ain't enough to go around.
Speaker A
Anyway, the wind comes up. And sometimes you think, comes up, you'd do anything just to fill your belly full of food.
Speaker A
Find a bed that you could fall into, where the weather, wind, and where the wind blows.
Speaker A
Now, was the song of a muse. And you know how those muses are. Sometimes they are not good to you.
Speaker A
And this poor boy, he wore his heart out on his sleeve. You might say he was naive to the ways of the world, but he had a way with words and a rhythm and a rhyme. And he sang just like a bird up
Speaker A
on the line. And it ain't because I'm kind, but his mama was a friend of mine.
Speaker A
And I like to hear him sing, as his way of seeing things. So I took him underneath my wing.
Speaker A
And that is where he stayed until one day. You want to talk to her?
Speaker A
Yes. Go on. All of this. Don't come on too strong. Come home with me.
Speaker A
The man's going to marry you. I'm... Is he always like this? Yes. I'm here to see.
Speaker A
Your name is like a melody. A singer? Is that what you are? I also play the liar.
Speaker A
Oh, a liar and a player, too. I've met too many men like you. Oh, no. I'm not like men.
Speaker A
He's not like any man you've met. But tell her what you're working on. I'm working on a song.
Speaker A
And when I sing it, spring will come again. Come again. Spring will come. When I haven't seen a spring or fall since I can't recall.
Speaker A
That's what I'm working on. A song was wrong. Take what's wrong. A song so beautiful. It brings the world back into back in time and all.
Speaker A
You become my wife. Oh, he's crazy. Why would I become his wife? Maybe because he'll make you feel alive.
Speaker A
Alive. He's worth a lot. What else you got? Tell me if you can. Buy the wedding, the times be what they are, and getting all the time.
Speaker A
All the rivers will sing along, and then the praise that makes for us be generous. All passion and loving. All compassion, for your head is going to give us a lay table.
Speaker A
All the trees go sing along. They're going to branch down to lay their food upon the ground. The almond and the apple and the sugar from the paper trees.
Speaker A
So when you sing your song, the one you're working on, spring will come again.
Speaker A
Yes. Why don't you sing it, then? It isn't finished. Sing it. You want to take me home?
Speaker A
Yes. Sing the song. Oh, high. How'd you do that? If so, you can't do this.
Speaker A
I know. You have to finish. Lovers tell me we will win. Who's going to make the wedding time what they are?
Speaker A
I am getting hot all the time. All the birds go sing along, all around the feathers on the ground. I feel like I'm down and trees like table.
Speaker A
Where did you get that melody? I don't know. It came to me as if I've known it all alone.
Speaker A
You have. It's an old song. I fell in love from long ago. Long time since I heard it, though.
Speaker A
You've heard that melody before? Sure. Tell me more. Remember the tale I told you once about the gods?
Speaker A
Which ones? Hades and Persephone. Remember how it used to be? Their love that made the world go round?
Speaker A
I remember now. That was long ago. Tell him again, though. King of shadows. King of shades.
Speaker A
Hades was king of the underworld, but he fell in love with a beautiful lady who walked up above in her mother's green field.
Speaker A
She fell in love with Hades, who was gathering flowers in a light of sun.
Speaker A
And he took her home to become his queen, where the sun never shone on anyone.
Speaker A
Go on. The lady and the kingdom they shared without her above. Not one flower would grow.
Speaker A
So King Hades agreed that perhaps each year she would stand with him there in his world down below.
Speaker A
She could walk in the sun and turn twice as bright. It's where the seasons come from. And with them, the cycle of the seed, of the sickle, and the lines of the people, and the birds in their flight
Speaker A
singing down below and up above, in harmony and rhythm. The gods sang a song of love, and the world sang it with them.
Speaker A
But that was long ago, before we were on this road. Heat. Heat. Oh my god.
Speaker A
Well, it's still out, girl. Back again. But like my mama always said, when you're down, you're down.
Speaker A
When you're up, you're up. If you exist on the ground, you're living it up on top. Let's not talk about hard times.
Speaker A
Why does it make the summer sunshine bright? Who makes the flowers bloom again? Spider-Man, who is doing the best he can.
Speaker A
Times ain't the way they used to be. But let me tell you something that my mama said to me. You take what you can get, and you enjoy it. So right now it was summer time on the road to hell.
Speaker A
The girl will always run away. My favorite spite of her young girl. Anybody want to drink?
Speaker A
Heat. Heat. Heat up here. Up on top. It's enough to feel our lips... This round of all this finally return us with wine to share, asking nothing in something we should live and learn to live as brothers in this life
Speaker A
and to trust she will provide. All right. And if one takes too much, there will always be enough.
Speaker A
She will always fill our cups. I will. You'll always raise him up
Speaker A
to the world we dream about and the one we live in now, 'cause right... Heat. Heat.
Speaker A
All of us was a poor boy, but he had a gift to give. He could make you see how the world could be in spite of the way that it is.
Speaker A
And Eurydice was a young girl, but she'd seen how the world was. When she fell, she fell in spite of herself
Speaker A
in love with all.
Speaker A
I was alone so long. I didn't even know that I was lonely. I called so long. I didn't even know that I was home.
Speaker A
Turn my color to wind. This is how it's always been. All I know is how to hold my own.
Speaker A
All I know is how to hold my own. Right now I want to hold you.
Speaker A
You take me in your arms and turn the light all around me. Everything bright and warm and shine like it never did before.
Speaker A
For a moment I forget just how dark and cold it gets. All I've ever known is how to hold my own.
Speaker A
All I've ever wanted, to hold you, hold you close. I don't want to ever have to let go.
Speaker A
No. I want to hold you. Hold you tight. I don't want to go back to life.
Speaker A
I don't know how or why, but I should have told you. But when I saw you alone against the sky, it's like I've known you all.
Speaker A
I knew you before we met. And I don't even know you yet. All I know is you're someone I have always known.
Speaker A
All I know, you're someone I have always known. And I know you've got my heart.
Speaker A
Oh, heat, heat. Say that you'll hold me forever. Say that the wind won't change on us.
Speaker A
Say that we'll stay with each other, and it will always be like this. I'm going to hold you forever.
Speaker A
The wind will never change on us. Long as we stay with each other, then it will always be like this.

So he keeps his head low. He keeps his back pandic. He's grown so afraid that he'll lose what he owns.
Speaker A
What he doesn't know is that what he's defending is already gone. Where is the treasure inside of your chest?
Speaker A
Where is your pleasure? Where is your youth? Where is the man with his arms outstretched to the woman he loves?
Speaker A
Nothing to lose. Sing along. God, love you. Oius was a poor boy, but he had a gift to give.
Speaker A
This poor boy from the world back into is what he did. And Hades and Petty, they took each other's hand. And brother, you know what they did? They died.
Speaker A
Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Orus. Yes. You finished it. Yes. Then now what do I do?
Speaker A
You take me home with you. Oh, let's go. Let's go right now. Okay, let's go.
Speaker A
How we walk? You know the way. We'll just go back the way you came.
Speaker A
It's a long road. It's a long walk. Back into the cold and dark. Are you sure you want to go?
Speaker A
Take me home. I have no ring for your finger. I have no banquet table lay.
Speaker A
I have no bed of feathers. Whatever promises I made. I can't promise you their sky above. Can't promise you a kind road below.
Speaker A
But I'll walk the side you love anywhere the wind blows. I don't need gold. Don't need silver. to spread when I'm hungry. Fire when I'm cold.
Speaker A
Don't need a ring for my finger. Just need a steady hand to hold. Don't promise me fair sky above. Don't promise me I won't blow. Just walk beside me.
Speaker A
Love anyway. The wind blows right here. Let us go. Look at him. He can't say no.
Speaker A
We'll show the way. If we can do it, so can I. I don't know where the string.
Speaker A
I'm walking with you. And I can't touch you there. Can't touch you. I'll walk you anywhere. The wind blows.
Speaker A
Do you let me walk with you? I do. I do. I do. And keep on walking.
Speaker A
Come. I will. I will. Are you willing? And so the poor boy asked the king, "Can we go?" And this is how he answered him.
Speaker A
I don't know. Got to be quick. Got a safe face. Rock in a heartbe. What you going to do?
Speaker A
What you going to do? What you going to do? What you going to do now? If you tell them no.
Speaker A
You're a heartless man and you're going to have a m on your hand. If you let him go, you're a spineless king.
Speaker A
Damn. If you don't, damn if you do. Oh, damn nations watching you. What you going to do? What you going to do? What you going to do? What you going to do?
Speaker A
Now, here's a little tip. Word to the wise. Here's a little cinn Heat. Heat.

The devil take this Orphus and his Belladon a kiss. Beautiful, poisonous, lovely, deadly. Now it feels on my tongue.
Speaker A
Now in my run, now I'm stricken. Now I'm stung. is not ready. Angel with his kiss.
Speaker A
The riot starts. All my children came your war clinging for men war. Now what do they clown for?
Speaker A
Freedom. Freedom. I myself fall upon the sword of some might. Who will lead them?
Speaker A
Oh, who makes for Heat up here. Only one thing to be done. Let him go. But let there be some turn to be agreed upon. Some condition or the other side shall not turn to look behind.
Speaker A
He's out of sight and he's out of his mind. Every see All alone his blood runs thin and dark comes.
Speaker A
Dark comes in. What is it? Well, the good news is he said that you can go.
Speaker A
He did. He said he did. There's bad news though. What is it? You can walk, but it won't be like you planned.
Speaker A
What do you mean? What's going on? Well, you won't be half in hand. You won't be aren't side by side and all of that. He said, "You have to walk in front and she has to walk in back."
Speaker A
And if you turn around to make sure she's coming, too, then she goes back to Hades Town. It ain't nothing you can do.
Speaker A
But why? Why build walls, make folks walk single fire? Divide and counter is what it's called. It's a trap.
Speaker A
It's a trial. Do you trust each other? Do you trust yourself? Listen, brother, if you want to walk out of hell, you're going to have to prove it before God's men.
Speaker A
Can you do that? I time to go. Yes. It's Star Trek. No, it's a test.
Speaker A
The meanest dog you will ever meet. He ain't the hound dog in the street. He bears some teeth and tears some skin.
Speaker A
But brother, that's the worst of him. Now the dog you really got to dread.
Speaker A
It's the one that hows inside your head. It's him whose house and drives men mad and the mind to its undoing.

Speaker A
Show the way. Pad we almost try. I will. Who are you? Who do you think you are? Who are you?
Speaker A
Who are you to the earth? Who are you to be there? Who are you to think that you can hold your head? I know your road to walk and it ain't along the track and it ain't along the top.
Speaker A
I'll tell you where the real keep behind the paradise. My eyes heat. Heat. Heat.
Speaker A
Heat. Heat. I'm coming. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. La. Doubt comes in the wind is changing.
Speaker A
Doubt comes how cold is blowing. I meet a stranger walking on the road alone.
Speaker A

Speaker A
Where is she? Heat. Heat. Yeah. Heat. Who am I? Who am I against him? Who am I?
Speaker A

Speaker A
Cuz here's the thing. To know how it ends and still begin to sing it again as it might turn out this time.
Speaker A
I learned that from a friend of mine. See, Orus was a ball boy. Anybody got a match?
Speaker A
But he had a gift to give. Give me that. He can make you see how the world could be in spite of the way that it is.
Speaker A
Can you see it? Can you hear it? Can you feel it? Like a dream.
