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 recognize
running down my back street
my heart skipped a beat
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
what can they do
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
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
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
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
