[Verse] Far off in the distance, a shape in the night, alright On a mission of mercy, if the price is right He tries to possess her and she bites It's a ritual slaying, but the tables are turned, oh no And now he's prayin', but it's his turn to burn
[Chorus] Like a thief in the night She breaks into his heart Like a thief in the night She never leaves her mark
In a hotel chamber, on a cryptic note 'Cos where there's fire, there's gotta be smoke, oh no Footsteps in the twilight, and red nails 'round his throat
It's a ritual slaying, without strings attached, oh no And now he's praying, but there's no turning back
[Chorus]
Like a thief in the night - alright, alright
Like a thief in the night She breaks into his heart Like a thief in the night (alright, alright) Like a thief in the night She never leaves her mark Like a thief in the night
Like a thief in the night Like a thief in the night Like a thief in the night Like a thief in the night (repeats out)
