... death cell blues...

… death cell blues…

…got… the death cell blues…
what do I do… what do I do…
waiting… wondering…

… I the smashed clock…
its dial I dare not watch…
waiting… listening…

each tiny sound… every footstep…
waiting… wondering…
how long now?

… waiting for the darkness
for my shortest day…
…my racing mind

… heightened imagination
waiting… wondering…
how long now?

any sudden trip…
but in that brief moment…
imagining that drop to obscurity
