The sound is getting closer

The footsteps in the hall

I can hear them talking

I listen through the wall

It sounds to me like someone is

heading for a fall

Maybe I should follow

the footsteps in the hall

[chorus]

Do what you want to

You're too late

I'm watching you

Do what you want to

It's far too late

I'm on to you

Now I hear the door close

I step out in the hall

I listen through the doorway

I listen through the wall

Maybe I could stop this or maybe I should call

It sound to me like someone is

heading for a fall

[repeat chorus]

The elevator opens

I run back to my room

I hear a lot of voices

They'll get him very soon

I don't know when he's comin'

I don't know what to do

Now the room is silent

We'll all be in the news

[repeat chorus]

Now here comes the victim

He doesn't have a clue

Then I hear the room scream

"surprise" this night's for you
