In a pestilential prison, with a life-long lock,
Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock,
From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block!

Awaiting the sensation of a short, sharp shock,
From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block!

A short, sharp shock, a big black block!

And awaiting the sensation
From a cheap and chippy chopper on a big black block!
