I never thought I'd be a killer,
'Cause there's so much to lose.
But if I can't drink the water,
What else can I do?
And although the axe is heavy,
It just sits in my hands,
While you're changing like the current,
Not a shore on land.
Every time I try to bring it down,
You always turn my hand around, oh.
Make up your mind,
(Make up, make up),
Let me live or let me love you.
While you’ve been saving your neck,
(Make up, make up),
I’ve been breaking mine for you.
The power is on,
The guillotine hums,
My back’s to the wall,
Go on, let it fall, oh.
Make up your mind,
(Make up, make up),
Before I make it up for you.
I never thought that I’d be facing,
A sea that's bluer than the tide.
Now, my knees are shaking,
And I can’t look in your eyes.
But if you’re gonna make me do it,
How’d you want it done?
Is it best to sip it slowly,
Or drink it down in one?
Every time I try to bring it down,
You always turn my hand around, oh.
Make up your mind,
(Make up, make up),
Let me live or let me love you.
While you’ve been saving your neck,
(Make up, make up),
I’ve been breaking mine for you.
The power is on,
The guillotine hums,
My back’s to the wall,
Go on, let it fall, oh.
Make up your mind,
(Make up, make up),
Before I make it up for you.
The executioner's within me,
And he comes, blindfold ready.
Sword in hand and arms so steady.
Every time I try to bring it down,
You always turn my head around,
But every time I try to bring it down,
You always turn my head around.
Make up your mind,
(Make up, make up),
Let me live or let me love you.
While you’ve been saving your neck,
(Make up, make up),
I’ve been breaking mine for you.
The power is on,
The guillotine hums,
My back’s to the wall,
Go on, let it fall, oh.
Make up your mind,
(Make up, make up),
Before I make it up for you.
Make up your mind,
(Make up, make up),
Let me live or let me love you.
While you’ve been saving your neck,
(Make up, make up),
I’ve been breaking mine for you.
The power is on,
The guillotine hums,
My back’s to the wall,
Go on, let it fall, oh.
Make up your mind,
(Make up, make up),
Before I make it up for you.
