Killer
Desolation Angels Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With murder in mind, with murder in mind, I'm looking for a victim,
But they're so hard to find, so hard to find,
It is such a simple plan,
Gun in pocket knife in hand,
I'm a killer, yes i am,
I'm a killer, yes i am.
I'll take my time and find a shadow,
So i can surprise, i will surprise you,
You've got to pay now, for the cheating and the lies,
Oh how you lied to me,
Got a contract, pulled some strings,
To pay the price this hot stuff brings,
Killer, yes i am,
I'm a killer, yes i am.
Baby i'm a killer, yes i am,
I'm a killer, yes i am,
Killer, yes i am,
I'm a killer, yes i am,
Killer, yes i am,
Killer, yes i am,
I'm a killer, yes i am,
I'm a killer, yes i am.
