Lyrics
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
ALL
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, Lizie
You didn't choose which side you're on
ALICE
But there is right
BRIDGET
And there is wrong
LIZZIE
And I will choose my weapon
LIZZIE
I'm standing looking forward in the dark
A feeling brushes past me
And I know the wind has changed
