I work in the dead of night

When the world's quiet, no one is around

Track my moves, racing the yellow lights

To find the gate is open, she's waiting in the room

I just step on through

You get in, you get done and then you get gone

You never leave a trace, or show your face, you get gone

Should've turned around and left before the sun came up again

But the sun came up again

Enter the morning light

To find the day is burning the curtains and the wine

In a little white room

Though I'm not alone, her head is heavy on me

She's sleeping like a child

What could I do

You get in, you get done and then you get gone

You never leave a trace, or show your face, you get gone

Should've turned around and left before the sun came up again

But the sun came up again

I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen

I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing

I'm an assassin and I had a job to do

Little did I know that girl was an assassin too

Suddenly I'm in over my head and I can hardly breathe

Suddenly I'm floating over her bed and I feel everything

Suddenly I know 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

I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen

I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing

I'm an assassin and I had a job to do

Little did I know that girl was an assassin too

She's an assassin

She's an assassin

She's an assassin

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