Lyrics

Would Be Killer

[Verse 1]

I've got a secret

Something I thought maybe I could do

But I can't, now can I?

Lucky, lucky you

[Chorus]

Did you know I could be, a would be killer?

If suddenly I should be, I would be killer

[Verse 2]

Hurt people hurt people

This is always how

Oh, I've been entered by evil

So someone best love me right now

[Chorus]

Because I could be, a would be killer

If suddenly I should be, I would be killer

[Verse 3]

Now, don't you dare me

Or we will dance

High up balancing ballet

So I may still get my chance
