Dead Girl Walking

"Dead Girl Walking" is the seventh song of Act One of Heathers the Musical. In this song, Veronica Sawyer has just been excommunicated from the popular clique by Heather Chandler, the merciless queen of Westerburg High School. On Monday Veronica will face ostracism or even physical violence. Long after midnight, with thirty hours left before her execution, Veronica wanders the darkened suburban streets, but then glimpses the darkly sexy new kid, J.D. Throwing caution to the wind, Veronica climbs in his bedroom window…

Lyrics
 [VERONICA]

The demon queen of high school has decreed it

She says Monday, 8 am I'll be deleted

They’ll hunt me down in Study Hall

Stuff and mount me on the wall

Thirty hours to live

How shall I spend them?

I don’t have to stay and die like cattle

I could change my name and ride up to Seattle

But I don’t own a motor bike

Wait, here’s an option that I like

Spend these thirty hours getting’ freaky

Yeah!

I need it hard

I’m a dead girl walking

I’m in your yard

I’m a dead girl walking

Before they punch my clock

I’m snappin’ off your window lock

Got no time to knock

I’m a dead girl walking

[J.D.]

Veronica?

What are you doin’ in my room?

[VERONICA]

Shhhhhh

Sorry, but I really had to wake you

See, I’ve decided I must ride you ‘till I break you

‘Cause Heather says I gotsta go

You’re my last meal on Death Row

Shut your mouth and lose them tighty whiteys

Come on!

Tonight I’m yours!

I’m your dead girl walking

Get on all fours

Kiss this dead girl walking

Let’s go, you know the drill

I’m hot, and pissed and of the pill

Bow down to the will of a dead girl walking

And you know, you know, you know

It’s cause you’re beautiful

You say you’re numb inside

But I can’t agree

So the world’s unfair?

Keep it locked out there

In here it’s beautiful

Let’s make this beautiful!

[J.D.]

That works for me!

[VERONICA]

Yeah!

Full steam ahead

Take this dead girl walking

[J.D.]

How’d you find my address?

[VERONICA]

Let’s break the bed

Rock this dead girl walking

[J.D.]

I think we tore my mattress!

[VERONICA]

No sleep tonight for you

Better chug that Mountain Dew

[J.D.]

Okay, okay!

[VERONICA]

Get your ass in gear

Make this whole town disappear

[J.D.]

Okay, okay!

[VERONICA & J.D.]

Slap me, pull my hair

Touch me there, there, there (There, there, there)

And no more talking (Woah!)

Love this dead girl walking (Woah, woah! Hey, hey! Yeah, yeah!)

Love this dead girl walking (Love this dead girl Woah, woah! Hey, hey! Wait, wait!)

Love this dead girl (Love this dead girl)

Yeah, yeah, yeah (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

(Ow..!)

YEAH! (YEAH!)
