- The Assassin LyricsThe Assassin
[Harris]
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
[Chorus]
Better watch out, cos I'm the Assassin
Better watch out, Better watch out
Assassin
I'm in a cold cold sweat
I taste the smell of death
I know the moment's 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 adrenalin rush
It's just the final touch
You can kiss your arse goodbye
[Chorus]
[Harris]

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, Better watch out
I'm in a cold cold sweat
I taste the smell of death
I know the moment's 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
