As I Went to Sleep

I was innocent as I went to sleep, But soon I would be in trouble, deep. My problems would pile up in a heap As I went to sleep, to sleep. I began to nap, blameless and free, Without a trouble in the world, But, as I lay there snoozing soundly, Unfortunate events unfurled. I witnessed the unlucky ax murder Of a friend of a friend. Why was I the only one to see? Fate, I cannot comprehend. The living friend asked me who did it. So I squealed on who I saw. A second murder, then sadly ensued, as he Killed her with a hammer claw. For that murder, then I too was guilty, The jury reasoned, wise. I should be sentenced unsparingly, They sagely did advise. In my friend's guilt, I would rightly share, Though I went to sleep without a care, I woke up to the chair, the chair. I woke up to the electric chair.
