About the song
An old lyric, the first line inspired by the title of a film I never saw, that originally went to the tune of "House of the Rising Sun". Now a new tune finally presented itself... Raul Terep on drums.
Lyrics
A headless body in a topless bar
You may run fast but you won’t run far
You don’t know what you done, & I don’t care
I don’t want your money, I just want your head
I’m a killer, I’m gonna take you down
Yes I’m a killer, and I’m gonna take you down

I’m the flashlight in your window, I’m the shadow on your wall
I’m the silence in your bathroom, I’m the knock on your front door
I’m the button on your morning gown, I’m the dogface on your slipper
I’m the ringing in your doorbell sound but I sure ain’t Jack the Ripper
I’m a killer, I’m gonna take you down
Yes I’m a killer, and I’m gonna take you down

You’re the candle, I’m the light
Burn you down, melt you out of sight
I’m the fever, you’re the sweat
You’re still runnin’, I’m already set
I’m a killer, I’m gonna take you down
Yes I’m a killer, and I’m gonna take you down
