What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Outside the cats are scratching
2
Inside the doors are latching
3
On the room, the greedy gloom
4
The trial is revealed
5
Police are six feet deep
6
With switchblades in their teeth
7
So no one leaves and they all believe
8
This is absolutely real
9
Yes, it's real
10
And the sergeant says, "are you ready, boys?
11
Get ready, boys
12
Aim...
13
And fire...
14
Order in the court
15
People ready for the sport
16
They squirm and squeak and lick their beaks
17
And grease their feathers down
18
Everybody rise
19
Judge is here with bathroom eyes
20
A grizzly bear, he hugs his chair
21
And the greedy gavel pounds
22
Yes, it pounds
23
And the sergeant says, "are you ready, boys?
24
Get ready, boys
25
Aim...
26
And fire...
27
In the dungeon s(? ) falls
28
Writing appeals upon the wall
29
And the priest in prayers is not even there
30
So precious is his time
31
To the stake he's tied
32
The swallows sing the triggers slide
33
He bids goodbye to the wattery sky that plunges from his mind
34
From his mind
35
And the sergeant says, "are you ready, boys?
36
Get ready, boys
37
Aim...
38
And fire...
