Killers - Live '82

A song about a gentleman who walks the streets at night

With a knife or maybe an axe

Mind your back

It's called "Killers"

Ooh, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Alright

Oh-oh, alright

Yeah, yeah

Oh, yeah

You walk through the subway

His eyes burn a hole in your back

A footstep behind you

He lunges, prepared for attack

You can scream for mercy

He laughs as he watches you bleed

Killer behind you

His bloodlust defies all his needs, yeah

My innocent victims

Are slaughtered by wrath and despise

A mocking religion of hatred

That burns in the night

I said, "I have no one

I'm bound to destroy all this greed

A voice inside me

Compelling to satisfy me"

I can see

What a life's meant to be

You'll never know

How I came to foresee, see, see, ow

My faith in believing

Is stronger than lifelines and ties

The glimmer of metal

My moment is ready to strike

The death call arises

A scream breaks the still of the night

Another tomorrow

Remember to walk in the light

I said, "I have found you

And now there is no place to run

Excitement, it shakes me

Oh God, help me, what have I done?"

You walk through the subway

His eyes burn a hole in your back

A footstep behind you

He lunges, prepared for attack

You can scream for mercy

He laughs as he watches you bleed

Killer behind you

His bloodlust defies all his needs

I want you

Yeah

This is the song which get on the album by Adrian Smith

Who's at the moment suffering from a few sore ribs

At the moment, he's all trusted up tonight, like a chicken

From the older Adrian Smith help to write on the new album

It's a song about lady called Charlotte the Harlot

We discovered where she lived

And we discovered she's running a new knocking shop somewhere in the East End of London
