Pearl Jam - 25 Minutes To Go lyrics

They're buildin' the gallows outside my cell I got 25 minutes to go And in 25 minutes I'll be in Hell I got 24 minutes to go Well, they give me some beans for my last meal 23 Minutes to go And you know... nobody asked me how I feel I got 22 minutes to go So, I wrote to the Governor... the whole damned bunch Ahhh... 21 minutes to go And I call up the Mayor, and you know he's out to lunch I got 20 more minutes to go Well, the Sheriff says, "Boy, I wanna watch you die" With 19 Minutes to go So I spit in his face... and I kick him in the eye I got 18 minutes to go Well... I call out to the Warden to take my plea With 17 Minute to go He says, "Call me back in a week or three You've got 16 minutes to go." Well, my lawyer says he's sorry that he missed my case Oh... 15 minutes to go Well if you're so sorry, come up and take my place With 14 minutes to go Well, now here comes the padre he's gonna set me free With 13 minutes to go And he's talkin'about burnin', well I feel so f**ing cold I got 12 more minutes to go Now they're testin'the trap. It chills my spine I got 11 minutes to go 'Cuz the goddamned thing seems to work just fine I got 10 more minutes to go I'm waitin'for the pardon... gonna set me free With 9 more minutes to go But this ain't the movies, so to hell with me With 8 more minutes to go Now I'm climbin up the ladder with a scaffold peg With 7 more minutes to go I've better watch my step or I'll break my leg I got 6 more minutes to go Yeah... with my feet on the trap and my head in the noose... I got 5 more minutes to go Well, c'mon someone and cut me loose I got 4 more minutes to go I can see the mountains. I can see the sky With 3 more minutes to go And it's too damned pretty for a man to wanna die With 2 more minutes to go I can hear the buzzards... and I see the crows With 1 More minute to go And now I'm swingin'and here I gooooooooo...
