Why Are All These Heads Off Lyrics by Steven Chelik-DeMeyer

Lizzie: The Musical

2017

[BRIDGET, spoken]
Miss Lizzie, your father doesn't want you nor Miss Russell up in the barn no more
[LIZZIE, spoken]
Maggie? What do you have there?
[BRIDGET]
Listen to me, Lizzie, it's bad
And I don't know how to say this
But your father saw you in the barn
He saw you go up there with Alice
He said, "I told her to leave those birds alone
They're sick and dark and filthy"
Then he took an axe and chopped their heads off
One by one he killed them
[LIZZIE]
The sound of beating pigeon wings
Is ringing in my ears
And the taste of blood is on my tongue
And it's been rising up for years
My world is growing darker
He is shutting out the light
There's no way out of this pressure cooker
No way out alive
[BRIDGET, LIZZIE, ALICE]
Why are all these heads off?
Why are all these heads off?
Why are all these heads off?
Why are all these heads off?
Why?
Why?
Why?
[BRIDGET, LIZZIE, ALICE]
Why are all these heads off?
Why are all these heads off?
Why are all these heads off?
Why are all these heads
[ALICE]
Wait
Wait
Wait
Everything is fine, Lizzie
We will find a better way
If you stay with me, Lizzie
I will protect you
[BRIDGET]
There are two sides, Lizzie
You didn't choose what side you're on
[ALICE]
But there is right!
[BRIDGET]
And there is wrong!
[LIZZIE]
And I will choose my weapon!
[BRIDGET, LIZZIE, ALICE]
Why are all these heads off?
Why are all these heads off?
Why are all these heads off?
Why are all these heads off?
Why?
Why?
Why?
[LIZZIE]
I'm standing looking forward in the dark
A feeling brushes past me
And I know the wind has changed
