Young the Giant
Assassin’s Afterglow
[Verse 1]
Shoot 'em up
You're my strawberry cup
Sucker punch, oh lady
With you I feel at home

Never alone
My sweet little song with chloroform
Oh baby
I've seen you kill for fun

[Pre-Chorus]
Beyond the table
Made of gold
Some nights I wake up wondering where you've gone

[Chorus]
And I'll never know
Assassin's afterglow
But I'll keep leaving the light on

Covering your tracks
Til you get back
Then I'll keep leaving the light on

[Post-Chorus]
And I'll sleep wishing that you'd come home
[Verse 2]
Shoot 'em dead
While I'm dreaming in bed
Painted red
Oh honey, with you I've made my home

Never alone
Cutting now wife
With a bread knife
Oh honey, I've seen you kill for fun

[Pre-Chorus]
It's on the table
So scared of you
Some nights I wake up wondering what you do

[Chorus]
And I'll never know
Assassin's afterglow
But I'll keep leaving the light on

Covering your tracks
Til you get back
And I'll keep leaving the light on

[Post-Chorus]
And I'll sleep wishing that you'd come home
[Outro]
Please don't kill me
I'll leave when you want me gone
