When I left a dirty message on your answer machine
Left a call sign in the middle, so you'd know it was me
I got your number, from a rock and roll band
They said you'd turn this old boy into man

Im drivin' the wheels on fire, headin' to your place
Ooh baby my guns for hire, no time to waste

Killer killer killer on the sheets, she's so pretty, got no pity
(Shell knock you off your feet)
Killer killer killer on the sheets, she's so fine, her legs divine
(Heaven dont come cheap)

Caught a strange reflection on your mirror in the sky
It was the cutest little tattoo on your thigh
I tried to read it, that dirty little rhyme
So I altered my position, it read, kiss your ass goodbye

I'm learnin the perfect crime, a little every day
Emergency 999, there's no escape

Killer killer killer on the sheets, she's so naughty, loud and bawdy
(The lady loves to tease)
Killer killer killer on the sheets, she's so wild, the devils child
(Beautys just skin deep)

Killer killer killer on the sheets, she's so pretty, got no pity
(Shell knock you off your feet)
Killer killer killer on the sheets, she's so fine, her legs divine
(Heaven dont come cheap)

You got me, I'm in your sights, your sexual sacrifice

Killer killer killer on the sheets, she's so pretty, got no pity
(Shell knock you off your feet)
Killer killer killer on the sheets, she's so fine, the devils child
(Heaven dont come cheap)
She's so fine, the devils child, knocks me off my feet

Killer killer killer on the sheets, killer killer killer on the sheets
She's so naughty, loud and bawdy (she'll blow you off your feet)
Killer killer killer on the sheets, she's so wild, she drives you wild...

John Parr (born 18 November 1952) is a Grammy-nominated English musician, best known for his 1985 US #1 single “St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion)” and for his 1984 single “Naughty Naughty” (US Rock #1). Parr was nominated for a Grammy award for “St Elmo’s Fire” in 1985.

Parr first entered the music scene when he was 12 years old and formed a band with two fellow schoolmates, which they named The Silence. The band had achieved some success. They eventually became professional and started to tour Europe. He then joined a band named Bitter Suite who were a huge success in the working men’s clubs in Yorkshire, he then formed a “Super Band” with musicians from other working men’s club bands, and named the band Ponders End , a band that set a new precedent for the bands in the north.

Parr secured a publishing deal with Carlin America in 1983 and in the same year Meat Loaf asked him to write some songs for his new album. It led to a fateful meeting with John Wolff, who was tour manager for The Who. Foreseeing the initial demise of The Who, Wolff was looking for a new venture and considered Parr to be a suitable partner. Parr first visited America in 1984 and worked with Meat Loaf on Bad Attitude. Meanwhile, Wolff secured Parr’s solo Atlantic recording deal in New York.
