Emilie Autumn - Scavenger

☞ "Scavenger" from the album Fight Like A Girl.
This song, as well as much of the Fight Like A Girl album, is a part of the musical The Asylum for Wayward Victorian Girls, so I have assigned the captioned lyrics to their various characters (I thought it might be fun for anyone singing along to know which character they were playing).
☞ For complete lyrics, turn on "Captions" for the video or see them below.

SCAVENGER
THE SCAVENGER:
I am a scavenger
And I’ll take what I need
This isn’t personal
We’ve all got mouths to feed
Supply and demand...
Supply and demand...
I am a scavenger
A resurrectionist
Yes, I enjoy my work
I’m a perfectionist
Supply and demand...
Supply and demand...
One man’s trash is another’s treasure
One man’s cash buys another’s pleasure
I’ll rob from the cradle
And I’ll rob from the grave
It’s just human traffic
And I’m just a slave
To the medical community
They gave me my start
They pay by the part
So I’ll throw in the heart
I am a scavenger
A vulture, if you will
And if the price is right
I’m not averse to kill
Supply and demand...
Supply and demand...
I am a scavenger
And as you decompose
My time is running out
And my excitement grows
Supply and demand...
Supply and demand...
But surely you understand
It isn’t your diamonds that I’m after
But I’ll take’em
Don’t mind if I do
They’ll mean nothing to you
It isn’t your kisses that I’m here for
But I’ll take’em
Why should we waste them?
Why shouldn’t I taste them?
There’s always one door that you forget to lock
And I will be waiting...
There’s always one street that you know you shouldn’t walk
And I will be waiting...
You’re loved ones may sit upon your stone to prevent me
But I will be waiting...
I will be waiting...
Anticipating...
I am a scavenger...
I am a scavenger...
I am a scavenger...
I am a scavenger...
I am a scavenger...
I am a scavenger...

I should be home by now...

I should be home by now...
Scavenger:
Supply and demand...
NEW INMATE:
Someone will come for me...
Scavenger:
Supply and demand...
NEW INMATE:
Someone will come for me...
Scavenger:
Supply and demand...
Supply and demand...
Supply and demand...
