[English]

As he came into the window

Was a sound of a crescendo

He came into her apartment

He left the bloodstains on the carpet

She ran underneath the table

You could see she was unable

So she ran into the bedroom

She was struck down, it was her doom

Annie, are you ok? So, Annie are you ok?

Are you ok, Annie?

Annie, are you ok? So, Annie are you ok?

Are you ok, Annie?

Annie, are you ok? So, Annie are you ok?

Are you ok, Annie?

Annie, are you ok? So, Annie are you ok?

Are you ok, Annie?

Annie are you ok?

Will you tell us that you're ok?

There's a sound at the window

Then 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 ok? So, Annie are you ok?

Are you ok, Annie?

Annie, are you ok? So, Annie are you ok?

Are you ok, Annie?

Annie, are you ok? So, Annie are you ok?

Are you ok, 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, intimidation

Annie, are you ok? So, Annie are you ok?

Are you ok, Annie?

Annie, are you ok? So, Annie are you ok?

Are you ok, Annie?

Annie, are you ok? So, Annie are you ok?

Are you ok, Annie?

Annie, are you ok? So, Annie are you ok?

Are you ok, Annie?

Annie are you ok?

Will you tell us that you're ok?

There's a sound at the window

Then 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 ok? So, Annie are you ok?

Are you ok, 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 ok? (I don't know)

Will you tell us that you're ok? (I don't know)

There's a sound at the window (I don't know)

Then he struck you, a crescendo, Annie (I don't know)

He came into your apartment (I don't know)

Left the bloodstains on the carpet (I don't know why, baby)

Then you ran into the bedroom (help me)

You were struck down, it was your doom Annie (dag gone it)

Annie are you ok? (Dag gone it, baby)

Will you tell us that you're ok? (Dag gone it, baby)

There's a sound at the window (dag gone it, baby)

Then he struck you, a crescendo, Annie

He came into your apartment (dag gone it)

Left the bloodstains on the carpet

Then you ran into the bedroom

You were struck down, it was your doom Annie (dag gone it)
