Keep Your Friends CloseThe Executioner lyrics by The Basics
Plead for my life
And I plead for my soul
I been walkin' death row
And I do believe my time is up
She waits at the gate for me,
tightens the noose 'round my neck
And I can't believe this really is the end
Of all the hopes and dreams we had
Before the world came in and stole them all away
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
'Sit down', she said,
'I've got something to say
I've been patient with you
but I don't believe you'll ever change'
'I've made my choice
Yeah, I've made up my mind
And there'll be no remorse*
And I'm sorry but the time has come,
and yeah, we've had a lot of fun
But I really have to do what's right for me'
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
You don't have to do this
You can spare my life
You don't have to end it
I don't wanna die
But she's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
Plead for my life
And I plead for her love
And I'm screaming inside
But it just comes out a whimper
Her eyes are so cold
As she speaks out her sentence
And she kicks out the box beneath my feet
And I fall forever
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
She's the executioner
* [Often sung live as 'And I want a divorce']
