DON'T STOP THE BLEEDING
(CONTEXT: The story of "Sweeney Todd" set to the tune of "Don't Stop Believing")
Just a cockney girl (MRS. LOVETT)
Living in a bloody world
She took the midnight train going anywhere
Just a convict boy (SWEENEY)
Used to be her pride and joy
He took the midnight train going anywhere
(GUITAR SOLO)
A furnace in a pitch-black room
A smell of blood and soft perfume
For a razor, they can share the night
It goes on
And on
And on
And on.
Beadle's waiting
Just right down the boulevard
His shadow lurking in the night.
Streetlights, people
Living to avoid Sweeney's chair
Hiding somewhere in the night
Toby working to get his fill
Daisies on the windowsill
Sweeney praying he can get the Judge
Just one more time
He might win
He might lose
Joanna might sing the blues
Pirelli's "grace" just never ends
It goes on
And on
And on
And on.
Beadle's waiting
Just right down the boulevard
His shadow's lurking in the night.
Streetlights, people
Living to avoid Sweeney's chair
Hiding somewhere in the night
(GUITAR SOLO)
Don't stop
The bleeding
It's what the fans are needing
Streetlights
People, oh woah
Don't stop
The bleeding
It's what the fans are needing
Streetlights
People, oh woah
DON'T STOP!
