You've Got 25 Minutes - Michael Kadelbach

Well they're building a gallows outside my cell I've got 25 minutes to go And the whole town's waitin' just to hear me yell I've got 23 minutes to go Well they gave me some beans for my last meal I've got 22 minutes to go But nobody asked me how I feel I've got 22 minutes to go Well I sent for the governor and the whole dern bunch with 21 minutes to go And I called up the mayor but he's out to lunch I've got 20 more minutes to go Then the sheriff said boy I gonna watch you die, got 19 minutes to go So I laughed in his face and I spit in his eye, 18 minutes to go Now hear comes the preacher for to save my soul with 13 minutes to go And he's talking bout' burnin' but I'm so cold I've got 12 more minutes to go Well they're testin' the trap and it chills my spine 11 more minutes to go And the trap and the rope aw they work just fine I've got 10 more minutes to go Well I'm waitin' on the pardon that'll set me free, I've got 9 more minutes to go But this is for real so forget about me I've got 8 more minutes to go With my feet on the trap and my head on the noose got 5 more minutes to go Won't somebody come and cut me loose, I've got 4 more minutes to go I can see the mountains I can see the skies, 3 more minutes to go And it's to dern pretty for a man that don't wanna die, I've got 2 more minutes to go I can see the buzzards I can hear the crows, 1 more minute to go And now I'm swingin' and here I go-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o!

I asked you if you still loved me while we were fucking Then 25 minutes later you broke up with me 30 minutes later I tried going to sleep on pillows That smelled like your hair products and that went horribly I'm having sleeping problems and they become seep-in problems Cuz they seep in all my other problems and make 'em steeper problems I taught you how to drive, E brake when the car's rolling back Now we're hugging goodbye on my blankets Tears rolling down each other's backs When you're both depressed and you don't Leave it on a therapist's couch Maybe you end up leaving it in your partner's bed Last night I slept with a video, last night I listened to ambient rain I cranked up the volume as far as it went And I wondered have I gone insane? And then it start raining for real but still all I could hear was the thoughts and the pain I will do anything, everything just to not feel like this ever again Yeah Yeah There's tears on my shirt and I wish they would stain Wish they would burn and I wish they would hurt Cuz I need to get dragged right up out of my brain Went to my sister's and I took the train Wondered if you're meeting someone today Thoughts of your plans and like where you'll be headed Make me wish I could be beheaded, oh mane I know that God walking with me on beats Strong with a pen but my heart getting weak We used to hitchhike to see what we'd see Both our thumbs up like a movie critique Went by her house just to run into her See in her face that she really feel hurt I'll see her momma, her dad or her brother Or maybe some fucker who fucks on her covers I'm feeling like fuck it my life in the gutter I'm gutted, I'm going, it's grueling I shudder We fought and we fought like we needed Bruce Buffer In diners we'd sit in the booth there together Same side of the table like at the Last Supper But dammit you crossed me I'll never recover And friends'll just finally get sick of my shit See that I'm calling and not answer it That'll be everything that I deserve Me in my room with just all my words All of these words that I prioritized over People who loved me but not for a verse People who loved me like me right in the moment But how could they love me for me that's absurd? I played with chalk on the street by the curb Guess I'm still at it but lately it hurts Fuck everybody I gotta just flex Stare at the treasure map chasing the chest Treated her like she ain't under the x And so now I'm just forced to get over my ex I wish I still could get under my ex Couldn't we fake it for only a night? She used to call me before, after flights Just me and her, our little life Well what the fuck What happened to that? What happened to love? Or what did I lack? Well what the fuck There's no going back There's nothing for us Our words got us trapped Well what the fuck What happened to that? (Yeah) What happened that? Well what the fuck No longer intact There's no going back There's no going back

The animals, the animals Trap, trap, trap 'til the cage is full The cage is full Stay awake In the dark, count mistakes The light was off but now it's on Searching in the ground for a bitter song The sun is out, the day is new And everyone is waiting, waiting on you And you've got time And you've got time Think of all the roads Think of all their crossings Taking steps is easy Standing still is hard Remember all their faces Remember all their voices Everything is different The second time around Animals, the animals Trap, trap, trap 'til the cage is full The cage is full Stay awake In the dark, count mistakes The light was off but now it's on Searching in the ground for a bitter song The sun is out, the day is new And everyone is waiting, waiting on you And you've got time And you've got time And you've got time

Lyin' beside you, watching you sleepin' After you've loved me so tenderly I'm searchin' for some way to tell you How good it felt when I held you There's so many ways you get to me 'Cause you've got the touch It turns me on and on You light the fire in me That keeps burning strong The longer I'm with you The deeper and deeper in love I fall You've got the moves You move me so much You've got the touch As you wake up, you pull me closer And whisper, "Good morning," warm in my ear Nobody could do that like you do You make it so easy to love you And I know I will for a million years 'Cause you've got the touch You turn me on and on You light the fire in me That keeps growing strong The longer I'm with you The deeper and deeper in love I fall You've got the moves That move me so much You've got the touch Nobody can touch me like you do You make it so easy to love you And I know I will a million years 'Cause you've got the touch You turn me on and on You light the fire in me That keeps growing strong The longer I'm with you The deeper and deeper in love I fall You've got the moves That moves me so much You've got the touch You've got the moves That move me so much You've got the touch
