Lyrics

As he came into the window
It was the sound of a crescendo
He came into her apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
She ran underneath 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 okay
So, Annie are you okay

Are you okay, Annie
Annie are you okay
So, Annie are you okay
Are you okay, Annie
Annie are you okay
So, Annie are you okay
Are you okay, Annie
Annie are you okay
So, Annie are you okay, are you okay, Annie
Annie are you okay
Will you tell us that you’re okay
There’s a sign in the window
That he struck you a crescendo Annie
He came into your apartment
He left the bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom
Annie are you okay
So, Annie are you okay
Are you okay Annie
Annie are you okay
So, Annie are you okay
Are you okay Annie
Annie are you okay
So, Annie are you okay
Are you okay Annie
You’ve been hit by
You’ve been hit by
A smooth criminal

So they came into the outway
It was sunday what a black day
Mouth to mouth resuscitation
Sounding heartbeats intimidations
Annie are you okay
So, Annie are you okay
Are you okay Annie
Annie are you okay
Annie are you okay
Are you okay Annie
Annie are you okay
So, Annie are you okay
Are you okay Annie
Annie are you okay
So, Annie are you okay
Are you okay Annie

Annie are you okay
Will you tell us that you’re okay
There’s a sign in the window
That he struck you a crescendo Annie
He came into your apartment
Left the bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom
Annie are you okay
So, Annie are you okay
Are you okay Annie
You’ve been hit by
You’ve been struck by
A smooth criminal

(Okay, I want everybody to clear the area right now)

Annie are you okay
Will you tell us, that you’re okay
There’s a sign in the window
That he struck you a crescendo Annie
He came into your apartment
Left bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom Annie

Annie are you okay
Will you tell us, that you’re okay
There’s a sign in the window
That he struck you a crescendo Annie
He came into your apartment
Left bloodstains on the carpet
Then you ran into the bedroom
You were struck down
It was your doom Annie
