Jack the Ripper

See into the future, see into the past I gotta tell you What I'm seeing in the glass Tall dark stranger Knocking at your door Looking through the window It's you he's looking for Don't be acting crazy Don't you cause a riot Stand very still, keep very quiet You'll never see the face Of the man in the window Your heart begins to race He's the one to spring you a surprise The ripper, master of disguise See into the mind, see into the brain Try to find out the reasons That Jacky's out again Slipping and sliding Don't even try to hide Just like your shadow Breathing at your side Don't give into panic Don't you run and scream The ripper, haunting all your dreams You'll never see the face Of the man in the window Heart begins to race He's the one to spring you a surprise The ripper, master of disguise Cold steel, whisper in the night He'll be at your side With a smile and a knife It seems like dreaming Moving in the dance The last embrace you'll ever know The violence of romance Don't try to run, you'll trip and fall You'd be a fool He's right beside you And he can be so cruel Stand, o very still, your heart is beating Like a drum He turns his face towards you And the two move as one And so the mystery Continues to beguile The ones who know Can never tell you of his smile See the faces shiver See the figures move How can you see? They move so fast, you're bound to lose
