[Verse]
              
I work in the 

            
dead of night,

            
 when the road

s are quiet,
              
And no one is 

            
around to trac

        
k my moves
             
Racing the yel

             
low lights to 

           
find the gate 

is open, 
              
She's waiting 

            
in the room.  

              
I just step on

    
 through

[Pre-Chorus]
            
OHHHHHHH      

            
 You get in, y

             
ou get done an

           
d then you get

 gone
            
You never leav

              
e a trace, or 

             
show your face

           
, you get gone
              
Should've turn

            
ed around and 

             
left before th

           
e sun came up 

again
              
But the sun ca

      
me up again

[Verse]
              
Enter the morn

            
ing light to f

         
ind the day is

 burning
              
the curtains a

            
nd the wine in

              
 a little whit

    
e room
            
Though I'm not

              
 alone, her he


ad is heavy on

 me
              
She's sleeping

          
 like a child
             
What could I d

o

[Pre-Chorus]
            
OHHHHHHH      

            
 You get in, y

             
ou get done an

           
d then you get

 gone
            
You never leav

              
e a trace, or 

             
show your face

           
, you get gone
              
Should've turn

            
ed around and 

             
left before th

           
e sun came up 

again
              
But the sun ca

      
me up again

[Chorus]
           
I was a killer

             
, was the best

              
 they'd ever s

 
een
            
I'd steal your

             
 heart before 

             
you ever heard

     
 a thing
            
I'm an assassi

            
n and I had a 

       
job to do
            
Little did I k

             
now that girl 

             
was an assassi

   
n too

[Bridge]
             
Suddenly I'm i

     
n over my head

 
            
and I can hard

           
ly breathe
             
Suddenly I'm f

         
loating over 
            
her bed and I 

        
feel everythin

g
             
Suddenly I kno

     
w exactly what

 I did,
            
 but I can not

              
 move a thing
             
And suddenly I

      
 know exactly 

what I've done
            
And what it's 

              
gonna mean to 

   
me, mean to me
      
I'm gone

[Solo]
    
    
        

[Chorus]
           
I was a killer

             
, was the best

              
 they'd ever s

 
een
            
I'd steal your
