Where'd you come from?

But she was granted one more start
The convent of The Sacred Heart!
When'd you get here?
1920
How old were you?
Don't remember
Then what happened?
I met Amos
And he stole my heart away
Convinced me to elope one day
Oh you poor dear I cant beleive what
you have been through A convent girl!
A run-away marriage!
Now tell us roxie...
Who's Fred Casely?
My ex-boyfriend.
Why'd you shoot him?
I was leavin'.
Was he angry?
Like a madman
Still I said, "Fred, move along."
She knew that she was doing wrong.
Then describe it.
He came toward me.
With the pistol?
From my bureau.
Did you fight him?
Like a tiger.
He had strength and she had none.
And yet we both reached for the gun
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes we both
Oh yes we both
Oh yes, we both reached for
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun
Oh yes, we both reached for the gun
For the gun.
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes they both
Oh yes, they both
Oh yes, they both reached for
The gun, the gun, the gun, the gun,
Oh yes, they both reached for the gun

Understandable, understandable
Yes it's perfectly understandable
Comprehensible, Comprehensible
Not a bit reprehensible
It's so defensible
How're you feeling?
Very frightened
Are you sorry?
Are you kidding?
What's your statement?
All I'd say is
Though my choo-choo jumped the track
I'd give my life to bring him back
And?
Stay away from...
What?
Jazz and liquor...
And?
And the men who...
What?
Play for fun...
And what?
