Epiphany - 2023 Broadway Cast Recording

Out

Mr. Todd—

Out, I say, out!

All this running and shouting - what is it now dear?

I had him, and then

And that sailor busted in
I saw them both running down the street

I had him!
His throat was there beneath my hand

There, there dear don't fret

No, I had him!
His throat was there and he'll never come again

Easy now
Hush, love, hush
I keep telling you (When?)
What's your rush?

Why did I wait?
You told me to wait and 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 shit
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's with his foot in the other one's face

Look at me, Mrs. Lovett, look at you
No, we all deserve to die
Even you, Mrs. Lovett, even I
Because the lives of the wicked should be made brief
For the rest of us, death will be a relief
We all deserve to die

And I'll never see Johanna
No, I'll never hug my girl to me

Finished
All right!
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
Not ten men
Nor a hundred
Can assuage 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!
