lyrics

It's gonna be curtains - at the window a trigger
The liggers in the street below don't know what's going on
The tickertaping, the cheering, the waving
It's an overture ...

There's gonna be panic in the newsrooms
Typewriting and fighting - who will get the scoop?
The headlines say who did it
'Who did it?'

Assassination
A moment in everybody's life

There's gonna be metal in your memory
A bullet so full it fills your head with pain
Don't know what's going on
The ambulances, swearing, uniforms
... an overture

There's gonna be handcuffs on your pillow
No sleeping or weeping just an empty head
The headlines say who did it
'Who did it?'

Assassination
A moment in everybody's life

There's gonna be postcards on the counter
In colour another souvenir or two
Don't know what's going on
The cheap mementos, badges, tee shirts
... an overture

There's gonna be scandal in the papers
His habbits, like rabbits, more and more each day
The headlines say who did it
'Who did it?'

Assassination
A moment in everybody's life
