This song is sang from the perspective of Hades, ruler of the underworld in Greek mythology, trying to convince Persephone to be his queen and making all kinds of promises to her. It’s a nice rewrite of the original story, where Persephone was kidnapped by Hades.
[Verse 1]
I’m gonna take you to my house on the Styx
On a long black train going clackety-click
I’m begging like Cerberus I’m begging like this
I’m beggin’
I’m gonna take you to my garden of screams
Down in the belly of the voodoo machine
I’ll pick you up darlin’ in my black limousine
I'm knockin’
[Chorus]
I’m gonna take you to the
I'm gonna take you to the
I'm gonna take you to the end of the line
I'm gonna take you to the
I'm gonna take you to the
[Verse 2]
I’ll give you anything you want pretty girl
You could rule over the underworld
A coal mine full of diamonds and a string of black pearls
I’ll make you
I’m gonna crown you as the queen of the dead
Gold-capped teeth in a ring on your head
You can hear the river from my burial bed
Listen
[Chorus]
I’m gonna take you to the
I'm gonna take you to the
I’m gonna take you to the end of the line
I’m gonna take you to the
I'm gonna take you to the
