Death Row
Mark Boals / Tony MacAlpine
Counting the days in a 5 by 8 room
There's so much that I haven't done
Waiting alone for my bringer of doom
And I've got nowhere to run
Maybe I'm only dreaming
Wish I could wake up?
The clock's ticking marching on with nothing to say
Now it won't be long until my dying day
Praying for the governor to give me a stay
Watchin' every second as it's slipping away
Letters I've written but nobody cares
What is a guilty life worth
They say that killing the killer is fair
Their justice has got to be served
Here in my only worst nightmare
Wish I could wake up?
The clock's ticking marching on with nothing to say
Now it won't be long until my dying day
Praying for the governor to give me a stay
Watchin' every second as it's slipping away
