Judas Priest - The Ripper lyrics

[Judas Priest - The Ripper lyrics]

You're in for surprise you're in for a shock
In London Town streets
When there's darkness and fog
When you least expect me
And you turn your back i'll attack

I smile when I'm sneaking
Through shadows by the wall
I laugh when I'm creeping
But, you won't hear me at all

All hear my warning never turn your back
On the Ripper

You'll soon shake with fear
Never knowing if I'm near
I'm sly and I'm shameless
Nocturnal and nameless
Except for "the Ripper"
Or, if you like, "Jack the Knife"

Any back-alley street
Is where we'll probably meet
Underneath a gas lamp
Where the air's cold and damp
I'm a nasty surprise i'm a devil in disguise
I'm a footstep at night
I'm a scream at the sight

All hear my warning never turn your back
On the Ripper

The Ripper the Ripper
