| [00:19.886] |
I'm in the underworld but also in my kitchen |
| [00:27.354] |
I'm in the afterlife, but also television |
| [00:34.932] |
I've lost Eurydice, but as I stand here at her grave |
| [00:42.698] |
Shepherds appear to me bringing Cupid, the god of love |
| [00:49.109] |
|
| [00:50.506] |
Go down to the underworld, Cupid now commands me |
| [00:58.002] |
And bring back your girl, your lost Eurydice |
| [01:05.754] |
All will be as before, and there's only one condition |
| [01:13.285] |
Do not look at her before you return to earth |
| [01:20.717] |
|
| [01:21.023] |
Down at the gates of hell the Furies try to stop me |
| [01:28.726] |
But I play on my lyre, and the Furies must admit me |
| [01:36.398] |
The air in Elysium is pure and clean and lovely |
| [01:44.086] |
And there in a wooded grove I find Eurydice |
| [01:50.602] |
|
| [02:22.678] |
But my darling can't divine why I fail to look at her |
| [02:30.285] |
She takes it as a sign that I no longer love her |
| [02:37.884] |
She thinks I've been untrue, so I turn round to comfort her |
| [02:45.484] |
She dies a second time as my gaze falls upon her |
| [02:52.660] |
|
| [02:53.464] |
I'm in the underworld but I'm also in my kitchen |
| [03:00.854] |
I'm in the afterlife, but also television |
| [03:08.643] |
I am Orpheus, the world's greatest musician |
| [03:16.312] |
But without Eurydice I am nobody at all- |
