"Rolls So Deep"
-Aqualung
A/N: ItalicsThe song. Please Review. I'd be ever so greatful. It's my birthday. Come on!
She stormed out of the room. Her heavy, worn boots clunking against the broken wooden floor. The sound blended in with the summer storm outside. No rain poured, but the sound of thunder shook the air as he stood in that room glaring pointlessly at the doorway. He relaxed at little, realizing that she wasn't going anywhere. She needed him. He needed her. They both knew it. She wasn't going anywhere.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Lovett sat downstairs pounding on the dough. Her insides brewing. That blasted man! And suddenly she stopped pounding the dough, and sat in one of her booths and thought to herself...thought about what would become of her...if she went far away.
I'm
gonna teach myself to drive
Down the road on the other side.
I'm
gonna set myself alive
To put some fire in my soul.
She
thought about Toby. And Mr. Todd. And her love life...that really
didn't seem to exsist anymore anyway. It had vanished in the dark
along with all the happy days that seemed to only have lasted for
several seconds. Sometimes she knew she was asking for too much. And
she was only gunna get half of what she wanted. Could've
told you a million lies
Given everything to compromise
But you
could run for a million miles
And still have nowhere to go.
She
didn't have nowhere to go. She could just run. Just walk...until
her feet couldn't take the pain. She could end up like Lucy. She
looked up at the ceiling, as if heaven would drop an answer onto her
shoulders. She'd do anything for him. Anything. It's
like lightning in a clear blue sky.
There's a storm but you keep
it inside
It's like thunder when I look in your eyes
And it
rolls...it rolls
It rolls so deep.
She
sighed...and finally lost it. She trudged to her room and packed a
bag. A bag, just one measly bag, two dresses...and a small gold
locket. With that she walked out. Saying nothing to sleeping Toby, or
the oddly confused Mr. T she left pacing feriously upstairs. You're
gonna have to wait awhile.
Tune it in on another dial
Cause
every time that you make me smile
Blood bursts out of a stone.
She
walked out just as it actually started to rain. It poured like hell.
But hell probably didn't poor like this...it probably rained blood.
The blood from their misfortunate customers. She flinched. She wasn't
evil. At least she didn't think. And
if I have to be myself again
Drown our tears in the pouring
rain
It's the end of the holiday
And you don't wanna go home.
She
would have thought though...many...many years ago. When she was that
innocent little girl watching the world from a far. But she couldn't
go back to those years. Things had changed too much from them. She
had nobody to relate to her, to talk to her. She couldn't talk to
Toby...he wouldn't understand. You would think Mr. Todd would...but
he didn't. She just couldn't go back to where she came from.
It's
like lightning in a clear blue sky. It's like thunder when I look in your eyes
There's a storm but you keep
it inside
And it
rolls...it rolls
It rolls so deep. Yeah!
It rolls...it rolls so
deep.
She
stood there for a heartbeat, before running. Yes, Nellie Lovett ran
like hell down the gloomy streets of London. Every little droplet of
rain shed a tear. For the rain had washed away the hope long ago. She
sprinted down every sidewalk of misery, and through the dark
cobblestone alleyways, but didn't make it very far before somebody
grabbed her. I
wanna feel it everyday
I wanna feel it everyday everyday
She
didn't want anybody. She didn't turn around. She could either be
looking at her hero or her death. You never really knew which one.
You couldn't tell. She liked the feeling of being free though...it
was all hers...and nobody else's. It's
like thunder when I look in your eyes
And it rolls
It's like
lightning in a clear blue sky
There's a storm but you keep it
inside
It's like thunder when I look in your eyes
It's like
thunder when I look in your eyes
And it rolls so deep, yeah.
It
rolls...it rolls so deep, yeah.
It rolls...it rolls so deep.
The
hand turned her around violently, as she looked up into the cold, and
familiar eyes of the infamous Sweeney Todd. He looked at her as if
she was crazy. Both stood there drenched in rain...which she secretly
knew should be blood. "Wot are ya doing out 'ere Mista T?" She
questioned him It's
like lighting in a clear blue sky
There's a storm but you keep it
inside
It's like thunder when I look in your eyes
It's like
thunder when I look in your eyes
It's like thunder when I look in
your eyes
"I ran afta an insane woman." he said staring straight down at her. She looked up at him bravly and said "I wasn't gonna go nowhere." He said nothing for just a split second...before responding, "I know love, I know. But you out here could easily mean catching your death." She looked around...wanting to break free again. She struggled and little animal like sounds escaped from her wet lips. He held a tight grip on just one shoulder before forcing her around and kissing her.
There they were. Kissing-- in the ever so famous summer rain.
