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
