Everyday is a long disguise 
Everyday is a compromise 
I can tell a blatant lie 
While looking you deep in your eye
 
Everyday I look for a sign 
What triggers your death 
Triggers mine 
We will ride together in the end
 
R: Assassin, assassin 
   Show me paradise 
   Life is not the same Assassin, assassin 
   Show me paradise I'll never be the same
 
Twenty years, a loyal friend 
But now the knife is in my hand 
I can't begin to understand 
How I've been deceived
 
Show me visions out of time 
Greater than my stinking life 
If I serve you to the end 
I will find some peace
 
R:
 
Baksheesh, Baksheesh 
I'd sell my sainted mother 
For another glimpse of paradise 
Baksheesh, baksheesh 
Twenty years, deep cover 
For another glimpse of your paradise
 
R:
 
I'll never be the same
