Lyrics of Luke Woltanski – River Styx

Well I’ve got coins on my eyes, I look to the sky,
I don’t think I’ll ever see the sun again.
Yes well I don’t know what I’ve been told, in the head of the sun,
a young man died of cold.

Well I hear that boat a-comin’,
coming down the River Styx

Yes well now I did hear the doctor say,
I don’t think I’m ever gonna have to come back this way.
(Come back this way)
Yes well now he did say in a hushed tone,
you better, you better, you better get ready for him to go.
(For him to go)

Well I hear that boat a-comin’,
coming down the River Styx
Yes well a comin’ down.

Yes well now I did hear the specter say,
in a tongue I’ve never heard before today.
(Before today)
Well he did say with a sideways mouth,
it made the clouds part as if afraid of the pitch.
(Afraid of the pitch)
Well you see that shore on the other side,
that is the place that all you souls must reside.
(Well you must reside)
So forget your bags, leave your things,
you are gonna come on a ride with me.
(On a ride with me)

Well I hear that boat a-comin’,
coming down the River Styx,
Oh,
Well I hear that boat a-comin’,
coming down… the river.

Down the river
Down the river.
