Lyrics

Smooth Criminal

As he came into the window

Was the sound of a crescendo

He came into her apartment

He left the bloodstains on the carpet

She ran underneath the table

He could see she was unable

So she ran into the bedroom

She was struck down

It was her doom

Annie, are you okay?

So, Annie are you okay?

Are you okay, Annie?

Annie, are you okay?

So, Annie are you okay?

Are you okay, Annie?

Annie, are you okay?

So, Annie are you okay?

Are you okay, Annie?

Annie, are you okay?

So, Annie are you okay?

Are you okay, Annie?

Annie are you okay?

Will you tell us that you're okay?

There's a sign in the window

That he struck you

A crescendo Annie

He came into your apartment

Left the bloodstains on the carpet

Then you ran into the bedroom

You were struck down

It was your doom

Annie are you okay?

So, Annie are you okay?

Are you okay Annie?

Annie are you okay?

So, Annie are you okay?

Are you okay Annie?

Annie are you okay?

So, Annie are you okay?

Are you okay Annie?

You've been hit by

You've been hit by

A smooth criminal

Aaow!

So they came into the outway

It was Sunday, what a black day

Mouth to mouth resuscitation

Sounding heartbeats, intimidations

Annie are you okay?

So, Annie are you okay?

Are you okay Annie?

Annie are you okay? (Annie are you okay?)

So, Annie are you okay? (Annie are you okay?)

Are you okay Annie?

Annie are you okay? (Annie are you okay?)

So, Annie are you okay? (Annie are you okay?)

Are you okay Annie?

Annie are you okay?

So, Annie are you okay?

Are you okay Annie?

Annie are you okay?

Will you tell us that you're okay?

There's a sign in the window

That he struck you

A crescendo Annie

He came into your apartment

Left the bloodstains on the carpet

Then you ran into the bedroom

You were struck down

It was your doom

Annie are you okay?

So, Annie are you okay?

Are you okay Annie?

You've been hit by

You've been struck by

A smooth criminal

Aaow!

Ok, I want everybody to clear the area right now

Aaow!

Annie are you okay? (I don't know)

Will you tell us that you're okay? (I don't know)

There's a sign in the window, (I don't know)

That he struck you

A crescendo Annie (I don't know)

He came into your apartment, (I don't know)

Left the bloodstains on the carpet (I don't know why babe)

Then you ran into the bedroom, (I don't know)

You were struck down

It was your doom Annie (Dad gone it Annie)

Annie are you okay? (Dad gone it Annie)

Will you tell us that you're okay? (Dad gone it baby)

There's a sign in the window, (Dad gone it Annie)

That he struck you, (Hoo!)

A crescendo Annie (Hoo!)

He came into your apartment, (Dad gone it)

Left the bloodstains on the carpet (Hoo!)

Then you ran into the bedroom, (Hoo! Hoo!)

You were struck down (Dad gone it!)

It was your doom, Annie

(D-aow!)

And now I'm all alone again

Nowhere to turn, no one to go to

Without a home, without a friend

Without a face to say hello to

And now the night is near

Now I can make believe he's here

Sometimes I walk alone at night

When everybody else is sleeping

I think of him and then I'm happy

With the company I'm keeping

The city goes to bed

And I can live inside my head
