I work in the dead of night   When the roads are quiet   And no one is around   To track my moves      Racing the yellow lights   To find the gate is open   She's waiting in the room   I just slip 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 have turned around   And left before the sun came up again   But the sun came up again      Into the morning light   To find the day is burning   The curtains and the wine   In a little white room      No, 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 have 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      And suddenly I know exactly what I did   But I cannot 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
