Jack the Ripper Lyrics by Motörhead

March ör Die

1992

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
