Thomas Z. Shepard - Epiphany lyrics

[TODD] I had him! His throat was bare beneath my hand [MRS. LOVETT] Now, now, don't fret- [TODD] No, I had him! His throat was there and now he'll never come again [MRS. LOVETT] Easy now, hush love hush I keep telling you [TODD] When? [MRS. LOVETT] What's your rush? [TODD] Why did I wait? You told me to wait! Now he'll never come again There's a hole in the world like a great black pit And it's filled with people who are filled with sh** And the vermin of the world inhabit it But not for long... They all deserve to die Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett, tell you why Because in all of the whole human race Mrs. Lovett, there are two kinds of men and only two There's the one staying put in his proper place And the one with his foot in the other one's face Look at me, Mrs Lovett, look at you No, we all deserve to die Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett, tell you why Because the lives of the wicked should be made brief For the rest of us d**h will be relief We all deserve to die! And I'll never see Johanna No I'll never hug my girl to me Finished! Alright! You, sir, how about a shave? Come and visit your good friend Sweeney You, sir, too, sir? Welcome to the grave I will have vengeance I will have salvation Who, sir, you, sir? No one's in the chair, come on! Come on! Sweeney's waiting I want you, bleeders You sir! Anybody! Gentlemen, now don't be shy! Not one man, no, nor ten men Nor a hundred can a**uage me I will have you! And I will get him back even as he gloats In the meantime I'll practice on less honorable throats And my Lucy lies in ashes And I'll never see my girl again! But the work waits! I'm alive at last! And I'm full of joy!
