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

That sailor busted in, I saw them both running down the street

I had him

His throat was bare 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 what's your rush?

When? 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 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 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, 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!
