Song Description

Gallow's Humor, to the extreme. For music supervisors: The hook, "could you get that, could you get that please...that could be my reprieve" can work independently of the verses.

Lyrics

My Reprieve---Rosler, Ward

the witnesses have gathered
I regard them through the glass
a woman sits beneath the clock
a ghost from the past
it seems we?re right on schedule
the straps are nice and tight
she smiles like an angel
and looks me in the eye

could you get that?
could you get that please?
could you get that?
it could be my reprieve

I catch the scent of ozone
my chair, it clicks and hums
conductive jelly on my temples
this hat fits like a glove
the iodine still stings
where the razor nicked my head
through my own reflection in the glass
I see my angel dressed in red

(chorus)

I hover near the ceiling
still trapped inside these walls
the doctor checks for signs of life
my angel takes the call
she smiles and says
"wrong number"
as the doc says "one more time"
I feel the sky come rushing in
she blows a kiss goodbye

(chorus)
