about

A jailhouse story told from the perspective of a sympathetic executioner. We are all human, after all.

lyrics

Smoking a pack of camel cigarettes
Counting the minutes and regrets
The clock on the wall says it's time
It's time

Look at him he's a dead man walking
Not so tough, he ain't talking
Except the thoughts that say
This ain't me, this ain't me

Midnight comes and I begin
The ending of a life
12:03 the lights flicker
And I become as cold as
The body that lies motionless
Before me

Drawn into someone else's picture
You didn't ask to be here
You feel like you've been drawn upside down
Upside down

Eventually you find a role
And play it out like a rerun show
And everyone's watching you they think it's you
They think it's you

Midnight comes and I begin
The ending of a life
12:03 the lights flicker
And I become as cold as
The body that lies motionless
Before me

I am forced to put aside everything that I believe
I try not to look into his eyes
'Cause I would see a soul in pain underneath a numbered name
And I could not do what I have to do

Do you have a final statement
Something important that you meant to say
Long ago, say it now
Say it now

Eyes are closed and breath is deep
Drifting off to permanent sleep
Turn off the lights and go home
Go home

Midnight comes and I begin
The ending of a life
12:03 the lights flicker
And I become as cold as
The body that lies motionless
Before me
