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
