Lyrics for The Assassin
Now the contracts out They've put the word about I'm coming after you It's not the money I make It's the thrill of the chase And I'm coming after you I watch your every move Study the things you do And the pattern of your ways I watch the way you walk I hear your telephone talk I want to understand the way you think Better watch out 'Cos I'm the assassin (Better watch out) 'Cos I'm the assassin (Better watch out) Better watch out Better watch out 'Cos I'm the assassin (Better watch out) 'Cos I'm the assassin (Better watch out) Better watch out Assassin Assassin Assassin Assassin Ha ha I'm in a cold, cold sweat I taste the smell of death I know the moments getting closer And as you walk to the light I feel my hands go tight Excitement running through my veins I've got you in my sights I've got you dead to rights The triggers waiting for my finger I feel adrenaline rush It's just the final touch You can kiss your ass goodbye Better watch out 'Cos I'm the assassin (Better watch out) 'Cos I'm the assassin (Better watch out) Better watch out Better watch out 'Cos I'm the assassin (Better watch out) 'Cos I'm the assassin (Better watch out) Better watch out Assassin
