Breathing shallow, I'm slipping away. Hanging in the gallows, I'm starting to pray. How careful it was planned to do away with me; So kill me if you can, But words won't make be bleed. So what if I survive, And live to tell the truth? Imagine my surprise, To find me living and so very much alive! I'll find a new life and hide, If I survive. But I swear you're going down if I survive! I'll find a new life and hide if I survive. I'll find my own place in time if I survive. I'll learn to forget the crime if I survive But I swear you're going down if I survive! If I survive I'll tell on you. I'll find a new life and hide if I survive. I'll find my own place in time if I survive. I'll learn to forget the crime if I survive But I swear you're going down if I survive!
