JOHN MAYER - Assassin lyrics

rate me

<BR>

I work in the dead of night<br>

When the world's quiet, no one is around<br>

Track my moves, racing the yellow lights<br>

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

I just step on through<br>

<br>

You get in, you get done and then you get gone<br>

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

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

But the sun came up again<br>

<br>

Enter the morning light<br>

To find the day is burning the curtains and the wine<br>

In a little white room<br>

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

She's sleeping like a child<br>

What could I do<br>

<br>

You get in, you get done and then you get gone<br>

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

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

But the sun came up again<br>

<br>

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

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

I'm an assassin and I had a job to do<br>

Little did I know that girl was an assassin too<br>

<br>

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

Suddenly I'm floating over her bed and I feel everything<br>

Suddenly I know exactly what I did, but I can not move a thing<br>

And suddenly I know exactly what I've done<br>

And what it's gonna mean to me, mean to me<br>

<br>

I'm gone<br>

<br>

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

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

I'm an assassin and I had a job to do<br>

Little did I know that girl was an assassin too<br>

<br>

She's an assassin<br>

She's an assassin<br>

She's an assassin<br>

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

<BR><BR>
