A confrontation, this song is the attack of the Fates on Eurydice, accosting and pressuring her to make a decision: stay in the impoverished world above, or find solace in the world below.
When the Chips are Down (”Songbird vs. rattlesnake”) [Intro] Lyrics
[HERMES, spoken]
Songbird versus rattlesnake.
[FATES]
Mmm
[EURYDICE, spoken]
What is it?
[HERMES, spoken]
Eurydice was a hungry, young girl.
[FATES]
Mmm
[HADES, spoken]
Your ticket.
[HERMES, spoken]
And Hades gave her a choice to make:
[FATES]
Mmm
Mmm
Mmm
[HERMES, spoken]
A ticket to the underworld.
