THE LIVING END - SECOND SOLUTION

Standin’ on a street light
Tryin’ to get away
Guilty, Guilty I hear you say
Countin’ down the hours
But I haven’t got the time
23rd Precinct jumping on the line

What I wanna know
Is will I get death row
Or is there a second solution

What I wanna say
Is will I die today
Or will I get second solution

It was never meant to end this way
One shot violence I hear what you say

Standin’ on a street light
Tryin’ to get away
Guilty, Guilty I hear you say

This is a fictional song about a man on death row.
It’s a punk/rockabilly cross over. I think the English punk
influence is strong here. I really tried to visualise cold
streets and the urgency of a man that is running out of time.
