Dead Girl Walking (Reprise) Lyrics by Michelle Duffy, Daniel Cooney, Barrett Wilbert Weed, Elle McLemore, Ryan McCartan

Heathers: The Musical (World Premiere Cast Recording)

2014

[VERONICA]
I wanted someone strong who could protect me
I let his anger fester and infect me
His solution is a lie, no one here deserves to die
Except for me and the monster I created
Yeah, yeah
[VERONICA, STUDENTS]
Heads up, J.D., I'm a dead girl walkin'
Hey yo, Westerberg
Can't hide from me, I'm a dead girl walkin'
Hey yo, Westerberg
And there's your final bell (Ah)
It's one more dance and then farewell (Ah)
Cheek to cheek in hell with a dead girl walkin'
[H. MCNAMARA, STUDENTS]
Woah-oh-oh
Come on, Westerberg
Woah-oh-oh
Here we go, here we go now
[MS. FLEMING, spoken]
Veronica!
Jason Dean told me you just committed suicide
[VERONICA, spoken]
Yeah? Well, he's wrong about a lot of things
[MS. FLEMING, spoken]
Oh, I threw together a lovely tribute
Especially considering the short notice
[VERONICA, spoken]
Ms. Fleming, what's under the gym?
[MS. FLEMING, spoken]
The boiler room
[VERONICA, spoken]
That's it
[MS. FLEMING, spoken]
Veronica, what's going on?
[VERONICA, STUDENTS]
Got no time to talk, I'm a dead girl walkin'
(Hey yo, Westerberg)
[STUDENTS]
Hey yo, Westerberg, tell me, what's that sound?
Here comes Westerberg
Comin' to put you in the ground
Go, go, Westerberg, give a great big yell
Westerberg will knock you out
And send you straight to hell
[VERONICA, spoken]
Step away from the bomb
[J.D. laughs]
[J.D., spoken]
This little thing?
Hardly call this a bomb
This is just to trigger the packs of thermals upstairs in the gym
Those are bombs
People are gonna see the ashes of Westerberg High School and they're gonna think, "There's a school that self-destructed not because society doesn't care, but because that school was society"
The only place that Heathers and Marthas can get along is in Heaven
[VERONICA]
I wish your mom had been a little stronger
I wish she'd stayed around a little longer
I wish your dad were good
I wish grown-ups understood
I wish we'd met before they convinced you life is war
I wish you'd come with me
[J.D., spoken]
I wish I had more TNT
[VERONICA & J.D. erupt into a handfight over J.D.'s gun]
[STUDENTS]
Ahh
Hey yo, Westerberg, tell me, what's that sound?
Here comes Westerberg
Comin' to put you in the ground
Go, go, Westerberg, give a great big yell
Westerberg will knock you out
And send you straight to—
[A gunshot is fired]
