The Appeal

Switchblade Kittens


She stares at the walls of her house arrest 
Relations from everywhere call and wish her the best 
Cold blanket of paperwork insurance of a mess 
The jury is hung but the defense needs some rest 

Chorus: 
It's her death sentence 
And she won't make a deal 
It's her death sentence 
And she'll fight and she'll be strong for an appeal 

She gets one phone call so she calls her mum 
We'll take a deliberation for re-mission 
She maxed all her credit cards to lie in the sun 
Fix her regrets do all the things she's never done 

Chorus: 
It's her death sentence 
And she won't make a deal 
It's her death sentence 
And she'll fight and she'll be strong for an appeal 

Bridge: 
All alone in a crowded waiting room 
Waiting for a piece of verdict unknown 
She stares at the judge who charts her doom 
Silent pain from inside my how it's grown 
And it's all her own 

Chorus: 
It's her death sentence 
And she won't make a deal 
It's her death sentence 
And she'll fight and she'll be strong for an appeal 
It's her death sentence 
And she won't make a deal 
It's her death sentence 
And she'll fight and she'll be strong for an appeal 

It's her death sentence…
