Assassin

I work in the dead of nightWhen the roads are quiet, no one is aroundTo track my moves, racing the yellow lightsTo find the gate is open, she's waiting in the roomI just step on through

You get in, you get done and then you get goneYou never leave a trace, or show your face, you get goneShould've turned around and left before the sun came up againBut the sun came up again

Enter the morning lightTo find the day is burning the curtains and the wineIn a little white roomThough I'm not alone, her head is heavy on meShe's sleeping like a childWhat could I do

You get in, you get done and then you get goneYou never leave a trace, or show your face, you get goneShould've turned around and left before the sun came up againBut the sun came up again

I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seenI'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thingI'm an assassin and I had a job to doLittle did I know that girl was an assassin too

Suddenly I'm in over my head and I can hardly breatheSuddenly I'm floating over her bed and I feel everythingSuddenly I know exactly what I did, but I can not move a thingAnd suddenly I know exactly what I've doneAnd what it's gonna mean to me, mean to me

I'm gone

I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seenI'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thingI'm an assassin and I had a job to doLittle did I know that girl was an assassin too

She's an assassinShe's an assassinShe's an assassinShe's an assassin and she had a job to do
