Lyrics Killing Joke

Killing Joke

Our Last Goodbye

Only five other countries are known to have executed

juvenile offenders in the 1990s: Pakistan, Saudi

Arabia, Iran, Nigeria, and Yemen. The US has executed

more juvenile criminals than all of them combined, and

is the only one known to have put any to death since

1997.

There's so much to say

And so little time

I'd like to say thank you

For the moments we shared

They open the blinds

I look through the window

Look into my eyes

And never let go

And in the moment before you take your last breath

Catch my eye

When you know it's your last embrace

Then we'll say our last goodbyes

And in the moment before you take your last breath

Catch my eye

When you know it's your last embrace

Then we'll say our last goodbyes

There's so much that you don't say

There is so much that you don't tell

I never told you how much I felt

Now I give you the full truth

Think only the best of me

Think only the best of me

There's only one thing you should know

Love is sweeter than death

And in the moment before you take your last breath

Catch my eye

When you know it's your last embrace

Then we'll say our last goodbyes

And in the moment before you take your last breath

Catch my eye

When you know it's your last embrace

Then we'll say our last goodbyes

In 1997 the USA carried out seventy four executions,

the highest number for four decades. Only China, Saudi

Arabia, and Iran were known to have executed more

prisoners.

There's so much to say

And so little time

I'd like to say thank you

For the moments we shared

They open the blinds

I look through the window

There's only one thing you should know

Love is sweeter than death

And in the moment before you take your last breath

Catch my eye

When you know it's your last embrace

Then we'll say our last goodbyes

And in the moment before you take your last breath

Catch my eye

When you know it's your last embrace

Then we'll say our last goodbyes
