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
