|
I waited for you in the usual place |
|
At the time we'd arranged |
|
And I thought I saw you go by in the car |
|
But the number plates had been changed |
|
Then my watch stopped ticking |
|
And the snow started sticking |
|
And the world looked different and strange |
|
(Chorus) |
|
It was the longest night that's ever been |
|
It was the longest night that's ever been |
|
It was the longest night that's ever been |
|
Waiting for Madame Guillotine |
|
All my friends said I must be crazy |
|
But I had to talk to someone |
|
So I found me a church and I prayed for a sign |
|
To tell me what had to be done |
|
And I swear as I gazed at the statute of Jesus |
|
The cross turned into a gun |
|
(Chorus) |
|
So I waited for a little bit longer |
|
And I was feeling really calm |
|
And then she appeared at the end of the street |
|
With another man on her arm |
|
So I fired two shots to stop her laughing |
|
And her body fell to the floor |
|
She was dead when the first shot hit her |
|
The second was just to make sure |
|
(Chorus) |
|
Never had much use for religion |
|
But now we're alone in my cell |
|
I'm begging you priest |
|
When you're praying for souls |
|
Please pray for my soul as well |
|
You see I'd like to think I was going to heaven |
|
But I can hear them singing in hell |
|
(Chorus) |
|
(Chorus) |
