{After a long day of songwriting, Joshua approaches Brendon.}
Joshua
Mr. Urie!
Brendon
Hey, the big artiste!
Ain't you working on your masterpiece?
Joshua
Where's Tyler?
Brendon
Brother, what do you care?
You'll find another muse somewhere.
Joshua
Where is he?
Brendon
Why you wanna know?
Joshua
Wherever he is, is where I'll go
Brendon
And what if I said he's down below?
Joshua
Down below?
Brendon
Down below,
Six-feet-under-the-ground below,
{Brendon points to the flower Tyler left behind. Joshua picks it up.}
He called your name before he went,
But I guess you weren't listening.
Joshua
No...
Brendon
So...
Just how far would you go for him?
Joshua
To the end of time
To the end of the earth
Brendon
You got a ticket?
Joshua
No...?
Brendon
Yeah, I didn't think so.
Of course, there is another way,
But nah, I ain't supposed to say.
Joshua
Another way?
Brendon
Around the back,
But that ain't easy walkin', Jack.
It ain't for the sensitive soul,
So do you really wanna go?
Joshua
With all my heart
Brendon
With all your heart?
Well, that's a start...
~
{Joshua begins his descent towards the underworld.}
Brendon
How to get to Dematown:
You have to take the long way down,
Through the underground, under cover of night,
Layin' low, stayin' out of sight.
Ain't no compass, brother, ain't go map,
Just a telephone wire and a railroad track,
Keep on walkin' and don't look back,
'Til you get to the bottomland.
Joshua
Wait for me, I'm comin'
Wait, I'm comin' with you
Wait for me, I'm comin' too
I'm comin' too
Brendon
River Styx is high and wide,
Cinder bricks and razor wire,
Walls of iron and concrete,
Hound dogs howling 'round the gate.
Those dogs'll lay down and play dead,
If you got the bones, if you got the bread,
But if all you got is your own two legs,
Just be glad you got 'em.
Joshua & Chorus
Wait for me, I'm comin'
Wait, I'm comin' with you
Wait for me, I'm comin' too
I'm comin' too
{The Bishops, carrying lanterns, stop Joshua dead on his tracks.}
Bishops
Who are you?
Bishop 1
Where do you think you're going?
Bishops
Who are you?
Bishop 3
Why are you all alone?
Bishops
Who do you—
Bishop 1
—think you are?
Bishops
Who are you—
Bishop 2
—to think that you can walk a road that no one ever walked before?
Joshua
La la la la la la la...
La la la la la la la...
Chorus
{echoing Joshua}
La la la la la la la...
La la la la la...
{The ground trembles. The Bishops intrigued, move aside as the rocks and stones make way for Joshua to continue through the River Styx. Joshua runs, sneaking through the new path, and tries to avoid being spotted again.}
Brendon
You're on the lam, you're on the run!
Don't give your name, you don't have one,
And don't look no one in the eye,
That town'll try to suck you dry.
They'll suck your brain, they'll suck your breath,
They'll pluck the heart right out your chest,
They'll truss you up in your Sunday best,
And stuff your mouth with cotton!
Joshua
Wait for me
Chorus
Wait for me (I'm comin')
Joshua
I'm comin'
Chorus
I'm comin' (I'm comin')
Joshua
Wait, I'm comin' with you
Chorus
Wait, I'm comin' with you
(I'm comin')
Joshua
Wait for me, I'm comin' too
Chorus
Wait for me, I'm comin' too
(Wait I'm comin')
Joshua
I'm comin'!
Chorus
I'm comin'!
Wait!
Joshua
I'm comin' wait for me
Chorus
Wait!
Joshua
I hear the walls repeating
Brendon
I hear the walls repeating
Chorus
Wait!
Joshua
The falling of my feet and
It sounds like drumming!
Brendon & Chorus
The falling of my feet and
It sounds like drumming!
Chorus
Wait!
Joshua
And I am not alone
Brendon & Chorus
And I am not alone
Chorus
Wait!
Joshua
I hear the rocks and stones
Brendon & Chorus
I hear the rocks and stones
Chorus
Wait!
Joshua
Echoing my song
I'm comin'!
Chorus
Comin', comin', comin'...
{Joshua finally arrives into Dematown.}
{He is gone.}
