Assassin Lyrics - Battle Studies - John Mayer

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

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Enter 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 

Suddenly I know 

Exactly what I did 

But I cannot move a thing 

Suddenly I know 

Exactly what I 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 and 

She's an assassin and 

She's an assassin and 

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