Why Are All These Heads Off Lyrics
[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
[ALICE]
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 off
[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 who's 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
[ALICE]
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 off
[ALICE]
Why
Why
Why
[LIZZIE]
I'm standing looking forward in the dark
A feeling rushes past me
And I know the wind has changed
