Lyrics
Fun Assassin

You to me,
Like a magnet to a flame,
Like a mirror in the dark,
And we're off to a bad start again.
Dawn begins.
This is what the summer became:
Only strangers walking down from the beach.
Where did we bury the time?
Fun assassin, killing fun for kicks,
Stab me in the front; tell me that I'm jinxed.
Fun assassin, take off your disguise,
Look me in the eye and lie.
Lost in space,
Waiting for a bus from this place,
And when I get there, I'll just fold up my map,
Drop it and never look back.
Fun assassin, hijack the parade,
Suck out all the air, polish up the cage.
Fun assassin, treat me like I'm stoned,
Push me to the back and moan.
Fun assassin, pulling out my hair,
Smash out all the lights, kicking out my chair.
Fun assassin, take off your disguise,
Look me in the eye and lie
