The New Assassin

Skip the roadblock here she comes
...get a load of the pretty blue gun
Any slick trick under the sun
...she'll do it if it isn't done
She made arrangements she couldn't come
...she dresses like a secretary and lives like a nun
Your crime is the radiant passion
...it's time for the new assassin

Cool killer top of the class
...the other side of the shatterproof glass
Works as fast as the cameras flash
...with the cyanide cigarettes and the cs gas
It's her job - doesn't bat an eyelash
...she's working for the perishing mass
The breadline's back in fashion
...it's time for the new assassin

A melody played on a hand grenade
...from the rifle range in the green arcade
As the rain fell down on the big parade
...messed up the motorcade - mucked up the masquerade
Secret weapons become displayed
...in the hands of half a dozen aides
Just four men and a couple of gay blades
...shantung suits and shatterproof shades
Shoot up anybody who happens to be passing
...everybody but the new assassin

One link in the human chain
...in the city where it always rains
No profit or personal gain
...are the silent rules in a lonesome game
One face in a purple frame
...a black border round the name
Chalk marks around a blood stain
...thin blue line red light flashing
It's time for the new assassin
....what time did you see it happen
...it's time for the new assassin
