Epiphany

I had him
His throat was bare beneath my hands
No I had him
His throat was bare and he'll never come again
easy now
hush love hush
I keep telling you/wait
what's your rush/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*t
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
thought 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 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
alright, you sir, how 'bout 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!
Sweeney's waiting
I want you
you sir? anybody
gentlemen, now don't be shy
not one man
no nor 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
