Assassin
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Everyday is a long disguise
Everyday is a compromise
I can tell a blatant lie
While looking you deep in your eye
Everyday I look for a sign
What triggers your death
Triggers mine
We will ride together in the end
Assassin, assassin
Show me paradise
Life is not the same
Assassin, assassin
Show me paradise
I'll never be the same
Twenty years, a loyal friend
But now the knife is in my hand
I can't begin to understand
How I've been deceived
Show me visions out of time
Greater than my stinking life
If I serve you to the end
I will find some peace
Assassin, assassin
Show me paradise
Life is not the same
Assassin, assassin
Show me paradise
I'll never be the same
Baksheesh, Baksheesh
I'd sell my sainted mother
For another glimpse of paradise
Baksheesh, baksheesh
Twenty years, deep cover
For another glimpse of your paradise
Assassin, assassin
Show me paradise
Life is not the same
Assassin, assassin
Show me paradise
I'll never be the same
I'll never be the same
