Lethal Injection
Waiting in my cell
I'm lying on the bed
Staring at the light bulb
That hangs above my head
I know my time is coming
My life will soon be through
I hear the footsteps down the hall
There's nothing I can do
I will soon be gone
Nothing will remain
Just one lethal injection
Will end my life in shame
I hear the muffled voices
The key is in the door
The time has come for my last walk
Down this corridor
Had no one to turn to
Had no one to ask why
In a concrete jungle
You learn to kill or die
So I took my chances
And tried to break away
But it didn't work out
And now there's hell to pay
Strapped down to the bed
An IV in my arm
I wait for the poison
To start doing me harm
Just one lethal injection
They say I'll feel no pain
I'll just close my eyes forever
They say it's so humane
Now it's growing dark
I know the end is near
I know that I am dying
And my heart pounds with fear
I remember the subway
I remember the night
Now I know how my victim felt
When I snuffed out her life
I'm lying on the bed
Staring at the light bulb
That hangs above my head
I know my time is coming
My life will soon be through
I hear the footsteps down the hall
There's nothing I can do
I will soon be gone
Nothing will remain
Just one lethal injection
Will end my life in shame
I hear the muffled voices
The key is in the door
The time has come for my last walk
Down this corridor
Had no one to turn to
Had no one to ask why
In a concrete jungle
You learn to kill or die
So I took my chances
And tried to break away
But it didn't work out
And now there's hell to pay
Strapped down to the bed
An IV in my arm
I wait for the poison
To start doing me harm
Just one lethal injection
They say I'll feel no pain
I'll just close my eyes forever
They say it's so humane
Now it's growing dark
I know the end is near
I know that I am dying
And my heart pounds with fear
I remember the subway
I remember the night
Now I know how my victim felt
When I snuffed out her life
