{Down in the underworld, Nico and Jenna make their arrival.}

Workers
Low, keep your head, keep your head low
Oh, you gotta keep your head low
If you wanna keep your head
Oh, you gotta keep your head low

Keep your head, keep your head low
Oh, you gotta keep your head low
If you wanna keep your head
Oh, you gotta keep your head

Jenna
In the coldest time of year
Why is it so hot down here?
Hotter than a crucible
It ain't right and it ain't natural

Nico
Lover, you were gone so long
Lover, I was lonesome
So I built a foundry
In the ground beneath your feet
Here, I fashioned things of steel
Oil drums and automobiles
Then I kept that furnace fed
With the fossils of the dead
Lover, when you feel that fire
Think of it as my desire—
Think of it as my desire for you!

{Meanwhile, Joshua is still working on his song...}

Joshua
La la, la la
La la la la la
La la, la la
La la la la la la...
La la la la la la...
La la la la la la...
La la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la

Workers
Low, keep your head,
Keep your head low

Joshua
La la la la la la la...

{Tyler enters.}

Tyler
Is it finished?

Workers
Oh, you gotta keep your head low
If you wanna keep your head

Joshua
La la la la la la la...

Brendon
Not yet.

Workers
Oh, you gotta keep your head low
Keep your head, keep your head low

Joshua
La la la la la la la...

Tyler
Is he always like this?

Workers
Oh, you gotta keep your head low
If you wanna keep your head

Joshua
La la la la la la la...

Tyler
Looking high and looking low
For the food and firewood I know
We need to find and I am
Keeping one eye on the sky and

Bishops
{singularly}
Ooooh...
Ooooh...
Ooooh...

Tyler
Tryin' to trust that the song
He's working on
Is gonna shelter us
From the wind, the wind, the wind

Jenna
In the darkest time of year
Why is it so bright down here?
Brighter than a carnival
It's ain't right and it ain't natural

Nico
Lover, you were gone so long
Lover, I was lonesome
So a laid a power grid
In the ground on which you stood
And wasn't it electrifying
When I made the neon shine?
Silver screen, cathode ray
Brighter than the light of day
Lover, when you see that glare
Think of it as my despair—
Think of it as my despair for you!

Joshua
They can't find the tune

Brendon
Joshua!

Joshua
{oblivious to Brendon}
They can't feel the rhythm

Brendon
Joshua!

Joshua
King Nico is deafened by a river of stone

Brendon
Poor boy working on a song,

Joshua
And Lady Jenna's blinded by a river of wine
Livin' in an oblivion

Brendon
He did not see the storm coming on.

Joshua
His black gold flows

Bishops
Ooooh...

Joshua
In the world down below

Bishops
Ooooh...

Joshua
And her dark clouds roll
In the one up above

Brendon
Look up!

Workers
Keep your head low...

Joshua
And that is the reason we're on this road
And the seasons are wrong
And the wind is so strong
That's why times are so hard
It's because of the gods
The gods have forgotten the song of their love

Singing:

La la la la la la la...

Workers
Low, keep your head, keep your head low
Oh, you gotta keep your head low

Joshua
La la la la la la la...

Workers
If you wanna keep your head
Oh, you gotta keep your head low

Joshua
La la la la la la la...

Workers
Keep your head, keep your head low
Oh, you gotta keep your head low

Joshua
La la la la la la...

Workers
If you wanna keep your head

Tyler
Lookin' low and lookin' high

Bishop 1
There is no food left to find

Bishop 2
It's hard enough to feed yourself

Bishop 3
Let alone somebody else

Tyler
I'm trying to believe
That the song he's working on
It's gonna harbor me from

Tyler & Bishops
The wind, the wind, the wind

Brendon
Tyler Joseph was a hungry young boy,

Bishops
Ooooh...

{The Bishops, acting as the wind, take Tyler's bag away from him.}

Tyler
Give that back!

Bishops
Ooooh...

Brendon
He was no stranger to the wind,

Bishops
Ooooh...

Tyler
It's everything we have!

Bishops
Ooooh...

Brendon
But he had not seen nothing,

Bishops
Ooooh...

Tyler
Joshua!

Brendon
Like the mighty storm he got caught in.

Bishops
Ooooh...

{The Bishops take Tyler's coat off and away from him. Tyler attempts to fight back against the wind, to no avail.}

Tyler
Joshua!

Bishops
Ooooh...

Tyler
Shelter us!

Bishops
Ooooh...

Brendon
Only took a minute,

Bishops
Ooooh...

Tyler
Harbor me!

Bishops
Ooooh...

{Downtrodden, Tyler attempts to face the cold wind on his own.}

Brendon
But the wrath of the gods was in it.

Jenna
Every year, it's getting worse
Dematown, hell on Earth!
Did you think I'd be impressed
With this neon necropolis?

Lover, what have you become?
Coal cars and oil drums
Warehouse walls and factory floors
I don't know you anymore

And in the meantime up above
The harvest dies and people starve
Oceans rise and overflow
It ain't right and it ain't natural

Nico
Lover, everything I do
I do it for the love of you
If you don't even want my love
I'll give it to someone who does

Someone grateful for his fate
Someone who appreciates
The comforts of a gilded cage
And doesn't try to fly away

The moment Mother Nature calls
Someone who could love these walls
That hold him close and keep him safe
And think of them as my embrace

Joshua
Singing la la la la la la la...

Workers
Low, keep your head
Keep your head low

Tyler
Shelter us!

Nico
Think of them as my embrace

Joshua
La la la la la la la...

Workers
Low, keep your head
keep your head

Tyler
Harbor me!

Nico
Think of them as my embrace

Of you
