Time has gone slow, smell the gin soaked guard who opens your cell.
|
Shuffle outside, squint the sunlight, first you've seen in a while.
|
See the golden noose, it's gonna bind you. Feel it getting tight.
|
Your neck, tense another second will define you.
|
Never though it'd end like this.
|
Please stop flailing around.
|
|
Go face the crowd gotta make em gasp loud.
|
No moving around, uh-oh
|
Don't make a sound, gotta try and act proud.
|
No touching the ground uh oh uh oh uh oh.
|
|
Outside, you see her, hoping she'd be here,
|
hoping that she'd send you off.
|
With smiles and tears, but it's as you fear
|
she cares more for the phlegm in her cough.
|
See them gather round as the revile you.
|
See them as they stare.
|
Your neck starts to stiffen up another second,
|
is all it seems that you've got left.
|
Please stop flailing around.
|
|
Go face the crowd, gotta make em gasp loud.
|
No moving around, uh-oh.
|
Don't make a sound, gotta try and act proud.
|
No touching the ground uh oh uh oh uh oh.
|
|
Don't make them wait to see you cry.
|
They paid good money for the show.
|
Worth every cent to see you go.
|
Don't say "I fail", don't say "I quit",
|
say "I kill it I kill it I kill it".
|
|
Go face the crowd, gotta make em gasp loud.
|
No moving around, uh-oh.
|
Don't make a sound, gotta try and act proud,
|
No touching the ground uh oh.
|
No moving around, oh no.
|
No touching the ground, uh oh oh.
|
Stop moving around oh no.
|
Stop flailing around uh oh uh oh uh oh oh.
|

Uh Oh!
