Zudrate.
Repo Out from the night, from the mist, steps the figure. No one really knows his name for sure. He stands at 6'6" head and shoulders. Pray he never comes knocking at your door. Say that you once bought a heart or new corneas, but somehow never managed to square away your debts? He won't bother to write or to phone you. He'll just rip the still-beating heart from your chest! Repo Man - Repo - Hey, come on. Quick. Man Now, you could run. You could hide. You could try to. But he always has a way of finding you. He will come at your weakest hour, when no one is around who might rescue you. Repo man And none of us are free from this horror, for many years ago, we all fell in debt.

Oh, no! So witness it, people. All I have to do is sign the paper All you have to do is pull the trigger - I want you to do what is right - You want to pay me - to kill my father? - This man killed your mother, your mother - Shilo - He betrayed you both, he's a liar - And he poisoned you - Force me to kill I am not a murderer But you share your dad's genetics What if he passed this to you? I don't have to share his choices Didn't you say you were infected? Didn't you, didn't you? I poisoned you I'm worse than Rotti, imprisoned you I couldn't lose you, what have I done? Forgive me, Shilo, I drugged your blood Oh, God, what have I done to you? You used my mother's death to use my father You used my father's death to use me, too Your dad deserved whatever happened to him. He needed me, and so do you. I remember Remember my mistakes Remember you can change Remember that I love you I'm sorry that I failed you Remember that it's up to you To go and shape your life into One that's worthy of remembering No! Dad! Dad, no, please! Somebody! Somebody, please help. Money-grubbing beggars, no better than I am. You! Don't come near me. You're embarrassing. You're disgusting. You're not men. You're creatures. I'm embarrassed by you. Get away. I don't need you, not either one of you. Go away! Don't show your face to me. You're disgusting. You're not my daughter. You're nothing. When I'm gone, GeneCo will crumble. I doubt the world will remember how lucky they were to have Rotti Largo. Dad, be still There is nothing you need say It can wait Shi, your mother's calling me Sometimes I wanted to cry When the people on TV Were not quite the way we were Somehow I guess I just knew But I didn't know I love you so much I didn't know I love you so much But I do Sometimes I'd stay up all night Wishing to God That I was the one who died And sometimes there's not enough time But I didn't know I love you so much I didn't know I love you so much But I do I didn't know I love you so much But I do Shilo, go Dad, I will not leave you here You will live But you've already saved me, dear Go and change the world for me And we will always have each other In our time of need - Daddy - Shilo You're the world To me Oh, Daddy, please, no. Please, please. Please, get up. Please. Years It's been so many years Resenting the years And my heredity Oh, I have hated and loved you I have hidden behind you But I finally see You I've mistaken for destiny But the truth is my legacy Is not up to my genes True, though the imprint is deep in me It will always be up to me Up to me Free at last Free at last Goth opera Blood saga Sometimes I wonder how we ever got here Old grudges Scorned lovers Sometimes I wonder why we all don't move on 'Cause we all wind up in a tiny pine box. A mighty small drop and a mighty dark plot. And the mighty fine print hastens the trip to our epilogue. Epilogue? But the little girl fled, and the king is dead.
