I remember it was late one night
in the middle of a dream
woke up in a pool of sweat
thought I heard a scream
Ran over to the window sill
stuck my head out for a peek
Dressed in black was a man I didn`t recognise
running down my back street
My heart skipped a beat
Chorus:
You better watch out, there`s a stranger in town
You better watch out, there`s a stranger in town
You better watch out when he comes around
Don`t make a sound
Got the morning paper and the headlines read:
Danger to the queen
Buckingham Palace better tighten things up
The son of a bitch is mean
Vendors on the corner just doin` their job
acting like nothing`s new
Scotland Yard`s still looking for him
but he doesn`t leave a single clue
(Repeat chorus)
Who`s this man who fell out of the sky?
What`s he done and where`s he live?
How can a man who`s a criminal be a hero to the kids?
The old couple swear that the ripper`s back
They say it`s him all right
The young girl says it`s Jesus and he won`t be back again tonight
I wonder who`s right ?
(Repeat chorus)
You better watch out...
