Lyrics of 'Jack The Ripper' by Motörhead

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 thru the window, it's who 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
Aaah, the ripper master of disguise

See into the mind
See into the brain
Try to find 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
Aaah, the ripper, hunting 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
Aaah, the ripper, master of disguise

Cold steel, your whisper in the night
He'll be at your side, with a smile and a knife
It's 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 up 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
