Intro
Verse 1
As he came into the window
Was a sound of a crescendo
He came into her apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
She was sitting at 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 OK
Will you tell us that you're OK
There's a sign at the window

You were struck down, it was your doom

So they came into the outway
It was Sunday, what a black day
I could've made a salutation
Sounding heartbeats, intimidations
